No way to clear radio nickname or callsign via API

There doesn't appear to be any way to clear either the radio nickname or the callsign via the direct API.
An attempt to send "radio name" returns the current name as does "radio name """...
Is there a way to clear the name/callsign that I haven't figured out?

So is this a bug or a feature? I can live with it either way...

Maybe someone would want to loan their 6000 to a friend, and remove their callsign before doing so. I can't imagine that situation though, you'd have to pry this radio from my cold dead hands. ;-) (sorry, friends, get yer own 6700!)
But yeah I just think from a software perspective, anything that can be "set" should have the ability to be "unset".0 -
This thread is 8.5 years old. The situation persists. The closest I've found to removing a nickname is to use a .
