naMing your selCall iDents
the tX3340 allows you to name each selcall ident using a 5
character AlPhA name. the name is stored in memory along
with the ident making it easier to identify whose ident you are
recalling from the memory. if an incoming selcall matches one
of those in your radio’s memory, the name can be displayed
instead of the selcall ident.
