Mine works great and identifies most in Houston, San Antonio and Dallas where I spend nearly all my time.

What stations are you listening too in Dallas? I can think of only 3 stations that do the RDS.

From my understanding the radio stations brodcast a signal that works with the RDS, most stations don't use the system.

I've never paid much attention to the names of the stations, I've just noticed that the letters show up on my display. I always thought it was a reception issue if the letters weren't displayed because sometimes the stations here in Houston have call letters and sometimes they don't (the majority of the time they do). When the call letters are not displayed, the reception is suspect.
