Default Anyone getting many stations that broadcast with RDS?

I live in the Bay Area and only seem to be receiving a few stations that broadcast in RDS. Does anyone get a lot more or do I have bad reception in my car?

I think Bay Area has quite a few, but mostly RELIGION, and PUBLIC, and TOP40. Blech.

I'm in a very small city, and I've only found two. One is religious and the other is classic rock. The religious station broadcasts the PTY along with their call letters while the Classic Rock station only identifies there call letter and NO PTY comes across the display just before the call letters.

The stations can broadcast both call letters and description. I've seen &quot;ROCK&quot; and &quot;JAZZ&quot;
