The best way to amplify the radio signal is (other than using headphones or even the USB cable) playing with "external" cables. Just wrapping a VGA cable does a lot here, but still, your mileage may vary...

I initially thought the same regarding the RDS. However, the PS field is only 8 characters and very few receivers support the RT field (64 characters).
It may be possible to do some clever scrolling in the 8 character PS field, but the RDS data rate is very slow (1187.5 bps).

But it's no big secret; fmtxd provides a D-Bus interface for doing so; the above utilises it. There's also the preinstalled fmtx_client accessible from the X Terminal which also lets you set it, using that interface.
fmtxd does nothing special to set it, it just writes to a file in /sys.

Do you have any input on a means to change the transmitter output from the desktop.

Oh good one.
Well what I did was 3 things:
1. Become root, run visudo. In that text file [be careful] add line:
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/118
ie type
O
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/118
[ESC]
:x
2. Make a file "/usr/local/bin/118"
with contents:
Then type:
3. Add file:
/usr/share/applications/hildon/118.desktop
With contents:
And now you have an app called 118 that does what you want.
I am not an expert on hildon *.desktop files and running this command waits for some sort of X feedback, so you need to multi-task out and it disappears.
Please someone tidy up that part of it.

Code:
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/118
/usr/share/applications/hildon/118.desktop
With contents:
Code:
[Desktop Entry] Version=0.1 Type=Application Name=118 Exec= /usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/118 Icon= X-Windows-Icon= X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=false X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
