Step 10: Here you see that I have pressed and held
the
F W key for about 1 second which terminates
the character input mode. If I had input all 6
characters, I would not need to do this step.
As you turn the Dial knob clockwise, you will see the following sequence:
[21 special characters] [0 - 9] [7 more special characters] [A - Z]
Step 11: By pressing the
Push To Talk key, we save the new name to Channel Memory 000. So here is
another case where you press
PTT and not
F W so save
information.
You only can have 6 alpha-numeric characters for the tag but this can be enough
if you do at little economizing. When the tag I want to input is too long, I start to
remove vowels. So, for example, "Maricopa" becomes "MRCPA".
