Auto-detect Strongest FM Station
35
Description
Add an option to automatically detect the strongest station and change when a stronger station is detected.
Competitive/Pricing/Notes
In Germany many radio stations broadcast on a number of different frequencies as they are not as regionally oriented as the ones in the US. Many German car radio systems automatically detect the strongest signal for the current radio station and switch to that frequency automatically. I listen a lot to “Deutschlandfunk”, a German news station that can be received all over Germany. They broadcast on at least 30 or 40 different frequencies. Impossible to listen to on a longer trip through Germany without that feature.
Many German radio systems have it.

I am absolutely backing the original post since it is not only Germany-specific. It's more like hilly-terrain-specific since physics requires a lot of transmitters to reach all valleys with their local channels if there are a lot of hills or even mountains. So in every hilly country which also has national channels, there will be a number of frequencies for the same channel.
I very much agree with the original poster. Actually, I do listen to "DLF" using cellular/tunein, when possible. However, when distance traveling on the autobahn, cellular is pretty patchy whereas FM can be received virtually everywhere -- if your radio supports hopping the frequencies as required.
