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.
Tom

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

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
