As ever, I’m just curious because I don’t know how these things work.
The other day I was driving happily listening to BBC R2 on my car’s FM radio when it started crackling as if it was losing reception. (With RDS this doesn’t happen much nowaday.)
Them a GPS voice told me to take the second exit at the next roundabout! This was surprising as my car does not have a GPS. The radio then searched and locked onto some random station.
I re-selected R2 and about 2 minutes later the same thing happened with GPS instructions for the next junction.
I suspect that some close by vehicle was erroneously transmitting on 88.3MHz. Any other explanations? What sort of system would it be?
