Abstract
A buffer system for radio receivers includes an analog-to-digital converter, a digital cyclic storage device for continuously storing in digital form the audio signals last outputted thereby over a predetermined time interval, and a control circuit including a mode selector switch to select a Skip Mode, in which the receiver audio circuit receives the signals from the cyclic storage device with a slowly increasing delay from real-time, and another switch to connect the audio circuit to receive the audio signals real-time, and thus to skip a part of the broadcasted information. The mode selector may also select a Standby Mode for storing information broadcasted before the receiver has been turned on, and/or a Forward Mode for storing information broadcasted after the receiver has been turned off.
