Re: Clock Display on Mem & VFO Screens?

In the HF BC band presets, all I see is a UTC time on the map display and my local time in the usual place. Have you set up your UTC time and station call for yout QTH?

However, in the normal VFO or MEM screens, the only clock display is in the bottom r/h corner - can't get the world map to display also.

I am NOT using a full-length HF antenna, but something similar to the AOR SA7000 antenna - largest element is a 6' whip for HF. I've had a Drake R8B and an ICOM R7000 but this is a better combination for me.
