Chris and Dan,

Tom gave you the way to do it from the keypad.  You can also set the A & B displays in chirp.  But the radio itself is not capable of syncing the displays.  You can only do it manually.  I have the same radios.  The only difference is i have the frequency on top and the channel name on bottom on mine. Use the A/B button to switch between the two and manually change the channel until they are the same. 

That's the first step.  Now here's where I get lost.  If you scroll up or down, the two won't match.  And if you scan, you'll be way off.  How do you keep 'em in sync?   Chris Knowles, N1CAK

Hi Dan,

 

See if this helps.

 

Press the Menu button then press the down arrow or the up arrow until you get the item 21 - MDF-A Channel Display, Hit menu again the the up or down arrow until you see Channel Name then press Menu again then Exit. 

 

Do the same thing for item 22 - MDF-B Channel Display only this time select Frequency.

 

Now if you have both A & B set to the same channel the A display will show the name and the B display the frequency.

 

Good luck,

Tom

No problem Tom. I watched a guy do something like that on the keypad on a YouTube video, but it wasn't the display I had in mind. Plus he didn't explain a lot, especially which keys he pressed on the keyboard.

Hi Dan,

 

I may have mildly misspoke. I know it can be done manually but I think it would be very difficult, if not impossible to get CHIRP to do it. Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks Charles & Tom, I have tried so many combinations in Chirp and I've also watched some YouTube videos, none of them have shown that capability. I couldn't get it to do it in Chirp either.

 

It sure would be nice to have that feature! Anyway, if I knew someone that knew how to do that it would be ya'll!

 

Thanks again,

Dan Jolley

Subject: UV-82HP display question

 

I have a UV-82HP, and I would like the top line to say the channel name, and on the bottom line I would like it to show the correct frequency of the channel I am on. Example: If I am on NOAA on the top line I would like it to show 162.525 on the bottom line. Which is the NOAA frequency in our area.

 

I also have a UV-82C, UV-5R and a UV-5RTP I would like to do the same thing to (if possible).

 

Is this possible? I have done so many google searches and read a bunch of articles. One man said he had his radio this way, but did not say how he did it.

 

I have been playing around with the Settings in Chirp and I have the Name on the top line, but can't get the correct frequency on the bottom line.

 

Thank you in advance,

Dan Jolley
