broadcast. Most RDS stations are currently
in large cities, but many stations are now
considering broadcasting RDS data.
RDS can display:
cStation name or call-sign, such as
``WHFR 98.3''.cMusic or programming type such as
``Classical'', ``Country'', or ``Rock''.
cText Messages such as telephone num-
bers for dial in requests, advertisements
and other simple messages.
cTraffic reports about delays or construc-
tion.
