Tom,

Try a momentary press of the tuning knob when you're in Memory mode.  You 
will hear a high or low pitched beep.  The high beep means that the memory 
names are being displayed, while the low beep means you're seeing the 
channel numbers.

If you have the software, you can change the display in the Edit menu under 
the Memory submenu.  There's a checkbox that says something like "memory 
names", and it should obviously be checked.

Steve

Subject: getting memory names to show up on TMV71A display screen
