Hello Rusty I have the 7800R and there are tabs to the left of the screen for the buttons. As to change the name it is a column right between the freq and tone. Click on that line and type away, 6 letters max.
hope this helps you out.

I’m using Chirp to program my Baofeng unit and wanted to do the same for my FT-7900R but have run into 2 items that I haven't found to control some minor items in the Yaesu unit. The basic frequency, tone and offset are just fine.
1. I’ve previously used RT Systems to program my FT-7900R and that software has a Hyper Memory that can configure the 5 buttons around the display (labeled 1-5). I can’t seem to find where to set that on Chirp. Is that available?
2. I cannot seem to set the display for each channel to frequency or Name. Again, that is available in RT Systems and I am guessing it is also available on Chirp but where?
What I have works for the basics and I am glad for that but learning the software does take a little time. Possibly there is a tab I haven’t tried.
