Are these stations using this RBDS you mention?
Unfortunately I can't answer that the article I linked to in post was a bit dated (1998?), beyond what I mentioned in last post, I really can't say. Personally there is only one station in my area that uses it, unfortunately I can't stand the music format they are. I really don't miss the fact that I'm not using it, since I can name all the presets (call letters) and now have a clock thanks to v2.03b, which is the only thing I used the RDS for before v2.03b came out.
