Out of curiosity, is there a pointer to what those things mean?


The descriptions are very very techy, and you can read about them in the TEA6848H_3.pdf datasheet (that's the radio chip inside the RF module inside the empeg tuner).

DX(Distant)/LO(Local) should be self-explanatory to any who's ever used a 1980s-1990s car radio. Selecting LO mode simply attenuates the RF signal so that only the strongest stations can be found by auto-seek functions. Useful for people in huge cities, I suppose.

The IF2 Bandwidth has something to do with adjacent channel rejection, I think. It should be most useful in areas with tons of FM channels tightly spaced across the band. Or maybe I've got that totally wrong(?).

The Wideband AGC adjustment is for the signal threshold point for the Auto-Gain-Control (AGC). This should have noticable effects on weaker signals, I think.

Cheers
