Okay, I'm getting old and can't remember the frequency for every repeater, haunt, and hideout. My google-fu is weak and I'm trying to find a HT that will display a programmed text name for each stored frequency. In the days of dual, tri, and quad banders, does one exist? I'd like to stay HT if possible and not a small mobile.

If you download them from the repeater book, the name will be the call sign, ( may have to turn on the name instead of the freq ) on a computer before you write the image to the HT, you can change the callsign to the town , or whatever you want to use.name.
I just did that today with a Beofeng UV-82. It is tedious even on a computer, but having the repeater callsign does nothing for me. |

Quoted: I have all of my rigs (HT, base, mobile) programmed with physical location of repeater then maybe a call sign if there is room in display...when I hear someone say call me on '4 Seven' I look at them funny..I don't work that way  Same here. I have the names of the various mountain peaks, hills and ridges where the repeater sites are located. I don't have the frequencies memorized. I have the dual displays on my Baofengs set up to display the channel name on the top display, and the frequency on the bottom display. If I want to check, I can put the same channel on both displays and then get both the name and frequency at the same time. |

I may not remember the freq or call, but I can tell the peaks I'm near when out and about in the desert.
