Hi Jim. I got a purdy good idea now how to setup the (B) display. 1 point that still confuse me. It saids in the manual, menu #21 and #22 that the wording, example "FRS1" in the (B) display. The name in the display can only be edited via Chirp.
Jim said. When in MR (channel) mode, you can change the Memory Display Format (MDF) at any time to whichever format you want. Most user like to have one display line formatted to show NAME and the other display line formatted to show FREQ. But some like to see them both set to NAME.
You can use menu 21 (MDF-A) and/or menu 22 (MDF-B) to set either MDF that way you each display line formatted. The choices are CHAN, NAME and FREQ.
As I explained in my earlier reply, you can also set each display line's MDF using CHIRP .
Settings -> Basic Settings -> Display Mode (A): (Channel | Name | Frequency) Settings -> Basic Settings -> Display Mode (B): (Channel | Name | Frequency)
If you set your MDF-A and MDF-B up using the radio's menus and want them to stay that way, don't forget to download the changes to CHIRP and save them. Otherwise the next time you upload changes from your saved CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file, they will be set back to the way CHIRP has them stored in the above mentioned settings.
