<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
