Abstract
A multiplex broadcasting station selecting method which can execute a station selecting operation in group units is provided. A PTY code to be compared and a channel are set to one set of large classification information. The user sequentially calls out the PTY codes to be designated to one group and depresses the same channel key or the like each time the desired PTY code is called, thereby storing into memory the large classification information in which a plurality of PTY codes are made correspond to a same channel number. When executing a retrieving operation, the user depresses one operation key. The large classification information corresponding to the channel number is consequently selected and the group having a similar genre can be retrieved as set. The user can receive either one of or all of the broadcasting stations in the large classification information of the group. A process such that the group is allocated to each of the channels which was conventionally impossible can be executed, so that the range of application of the RDS broadcasting is broadened.
