Bob:

Well, that squares with what Steve said, so I now have two folks who have 
given me some great instructions.

I'm also asking Steve to see if he can find out how to do it in the 
programming software as a possibly more permanent fix.

The XYL likes the memory name display, while I'm just content with the 
frequency info, since I know all of our repeaters anyway.

Will work it out I'm sure.
