[chirp_users] Using Chirp question

[K0LNY_Glenn]

On some of mine, I have the county name, or whatever it is.
For example, before our county sherrif of Madison county went digital, I called it:
MadShf
You only get 6 characters to work with.
For my local 2 meter, in Norfolk, I put
Norflk
For the 440 repeater, I put
NFK440
So you can use whatever you want.

Subject: [chirp_users] Using Chirp question


Hi,


I am a new user to amateur radio and using chirp with a Baofeng BF-F8HP on MacOS 12.3.  I have loaded repeaters into chirp by counties that I am in and travel through.
The name in chirp and my radio is the call sign.  When I am going through the channels in my radio I don’t know where that repeater is.


Does anyone have any ideas on how to organize or tell the location of those repeaters other than by memorizing call signs?  Would changing the name in Chirp be one way or is that not a good idea?


Thanks,




Steve
