You can name Memory Channels using up to 6
alphanumeric characters. When you recall a named
Memory Channel, its name appears on the display in
place of the stored frequency. Names can be call signs,
repeater names, cities, names of people, etc. In order
to use the Memory Name function, the Memory Channel
capacity must be set to 100 channels. To change the
Memory Channel capacity from 200 to 100, access
Menu No. 15 (M.CH) {page 28}.

characters {page 64}.

After storing a Memory Name, the Memory Name
appears in place of the operating frequency. However,
you can still display the operating frequency, if desired.
To display the frequency rather than Memory Name,
access Menu No. 17 (MDF) and select “FRQ”. This
menu toggles the display mode between the Memory
Name (“MN”) and frequency display (“FRQ”).
Note:
◆ You cannot name the Call Channel {page 35}.
◆ You cannot assign a Memory Name to a channel that does not
contain data.
◆ You can overwrite stored names by repeating steps 1 to 8.
◆ The stored name is erased when you clear the Memory Channel
data.
