Re: [OT] Pioneer stereo question

[c a l i b a n <caliban@sharon.net>]

	i dunno about this, but there currently is a system
	that allows for statiobs (with the right gear) to
	encode their signals with their call letters.  some
	stereos out there are able to recieve the encoded
	signal.  it's pretty nifty, albeit a little 
	underimplimented.
