Although naming repeaters and commonly used frequencies can be handy, I have found that most all hams memorize frequencies. So even though I made up a naming convention for my radios so I would quickly know which repeater I was tuned to, I think it's better to display frequencies instead of names.</div><div class="ox-ddd0e2460a-gmail_default" style="font-family: monospace,monospace;"><br></div><div class="ox-ddd0e2460a-gmail_default" style="font-family: monospace,monospace;">For example: I named 147.015 in Nashville DANAV1.

I never said to use it that way.  If one has upwards of say, 100 channels and names, unless you’ve got a photographic memory, that’s gonna be a bit tough to learn and associate all 100 names to all 100 channels, to all 100 frequencies.
