Just be aware that field is limited in size.  I can't remember what the limit is but is 8 characters or less, if I remember right.  Chirp or the csv allow the name to be longer but anything over the limit (8?) is truncated in the display on the radio.

Good luck.

Got to the UV5 “Menu” and use arrow to go to menu 22 “MDF-B.”  Hit the “menu” button again and arrow to “NAME.”  Hit mane to confirm and “EXIT.”  Now you have FREQuency display on “A” with a name of its channel on.  Just did it on mine…kind of nice.  Just remember whatever is displayed on A channel is probably different than what is selected on B.  (Unless same channels are selected.)
