Sorry, I did explain in my first email that I am in the USA (North Carolina). I don’t understand the failure to receive continuous NOOAA broadcasts, which I easily do on a shortwave and FRS/GMRS radios. They are continuous weather broadcasts that don’t depend on satellite positioning. Apparently, there is a way to do the simultaneous display, but not on a UV-5R; only on an UV-5xe – bummer.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Lucida Handwriting";color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Lucida Handwriting";color:windowtext'>Rich<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='color:windowtext'> chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com> <b>On Behalf Of </b>John<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, December 31, 2020 2:03 PM<br><b>To:</b> chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [chirp_users] BTech 5X3<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> I loaded all of the NOAA weather channels, but do not seem to get any reception on any of them, although I know they broadcast non-stop.

Although the satellites transmit most of the time, they are not geostationary so do not appear over your position all the time. You need to which satellites pass over your position and when they are due to pass over. You will only hear a signal during a pass. There are prediction programs you can download such as Gpredict and Orbitron to help you determine that.<br><br>> Is there a way to jump directly to a specific channel in memory, instead of having to step through one at a time using the arrow keys?<br><br><a href="https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/baofeng-uv-5r-how-to-directly-change-channels.687660/">https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/baofeng-uv-5r-how-to-directly-change-channels.687660/</a><br><br>> Is there a way to link the frequency AND the corresponding channel name in the display, either on the A/B display lines (frequency on one and name on the other) or by toggling between frequency and channel mode to see both pieces of data on the same line (A or B)?<br><br>In short, no.
