Name Display:
1. Enter text in Name field
- Check Show Name - This will happen automatically when you enter text.
- In the Settings File (Settings | Radio Menu Settings) Set Display Type to Memory
- On the same screen in the Settings file, Check Channel Name Enable.
2. Settings | Radio Menu Settings | Common 1 tab | Display Mode - This option set to Channel puts the radio into a mode that makes the radio more like a commercial radio with changed capabilities (i.e., the radio won't go into VFO mode and others). For most applications, this options should be set to Frequency.
3. Only the B Band of the display can be put into VFO. Similarly, only the A band can be used in Memory mode.
4. Be sure you have a button set to Band Change (Settings | Radio Menu Settings | Common 2 tab | Key Assignments) so you can switch between VFO bands.
