When you reload the UV3R software you can enter the name of the channel (4 characters
only) in the last column. The bad news is that it's not yet clear how we should enable
the channel name (alpha tag) display on the radio itself;
NB: the change in settings.ini file must be done when the software is
closed
.
At the time being nobody knows if alpha tags will come in a future UV-3R version.
But it is useful to remember what that freq is for while in the programming file.
How do I get 99 memories?
There are actually 100 memories. Memory 100 appears to be the “Emergency” channel.
Programming through the keypad/selector knob only gets you locations 1 through 99.
The radio only displays the channels that have been programmed. The software lets you see all
99 channels as you edit them.
If your brand new UV-3R has pre-programmed memories and you cannot get to program
beyond location #20 (from the radio keypad), do a full reset before you begin storing your
frequencies: it will clear all memories too.
Can I operate on AMSAT/LEO satellites?
Yes, but you need the programming cable to program memories. Setting crossband memories
is not possible from keyboard. You need to use 6 memories per satellite because of uplink/
downlink doppler effect.
Memory programming example for AO-51 secondary repeater (we do not consider the uplink
effect):
