[cma-l] Station imaging

Re: RDS PI codes.

It is used often by stations when carrying the same content.  I can imagine
with stations not carrying the same content it could become troublesome in
fringe areas - with the radio ping-ponging between stations.  Probably
understandable if you are travelling, but intolerable if you lived or
worked in one of those areas!
