Hi, I have mine set up so that it provides an audible signal, a beep, if the channel being navigated to is currently transmitting AD. A quick flick between channels should suffice. Sorry, can't remember exactly how it is done. It is on the set up for audio description and there, somewhere there is an option for audible feedback.
