UBCD536-PT Hidden Features

Post by JAFO » Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:19 pm

Hi all,

Well after a number of years using a 396XT an RH96 . . . I upgraded to a UBCD536PT yesterday.

So question for those with a couple years knowledge under their belts with these, is there a hidden feature to select different screen layouts?

I've had it less then 24hrs now, so I may not had found it yet, but the old 396/996's would allow you to select 3x different screen views, where you can see TGID and Site Name etc, the UBCD536-PT don't seem to do this that I've found so far.

Slowly getting my head around the operating system, will see about fitting it into the car early next week . . . so any tips on the use of this thing will be helpful

Thanks

One of the numbers on the number pad has DISP (or similar below it) Function key and that should toggle.
But i can't remember if it needs to be on Hold or Scanning for it to work, it only works on one or the other.
It will show on the screen the words, 2 line / 3 line display
