SDR# Info about FM station subcarrier

[millam]

I was listening to FM and found out that SDR# displays a line of text at the top when
I select a few stations. Google found that FM stations can transmit 64 char. of text on
a 57 kc subcarrier. In my area of SE Alabama there were 4-5 FM stations had data
going. Just thought some of you would enjoy looking at this. System is called Radio Data System.
