Well, I don't know the answer to that, but can probably say that the one
with the fewest features is my little fm program.  It's pretty bland.

See, your stations have a clue about how to use it.  Around here, I get
3 stations that transmit the data, and most of them are static displays.
One of them has a horribly broken stream that sends bogus data too.

Well, given that it's both there and here (as RBDS), I'd say so.

OK, I've put the code and some example data is up on my web server.

I spent some time on the code tonight cleaning it up and making it decode
a few more things.  My copy of the standard doesn't want to funnel through
ghostscript tonight, so anything more is going to have to wait until I can
push it to dead tree form.
