I've said this before, and I'll say it again. While such display
features might be nice at home, they would be dangerous in vehicles,
which is where most radio listening occurs. Possibly some sort of HUD
might work, but only at night. I can't wait for the first lawsuit to
be filed by someone who was rear-ended by a driver looking at the
display on his/her radio instead of the traffic.
======================END QUOTE======================================

My terms of reference for particular receiver types was not to support
the Dynamic Label on the car radio for the obvious reasons (as you
stated). I was mainly talking about displays used in home and portable
radios, especially the fact that portables and clock radios are also
used a lot for listening to the radio.

With regards,
Simon
