What is Nickname?

Reference the Nickname input (under Settings -> Radio Setup), what does this number mean? My 6700's Nickname defaulted to a A391xxxxxxxxx number. Initially I thought it might have something to do with the unit's serial number, but that's not it. I was able to replace the Nickname Number with my Call, but now I'm curious whether this A391xxxxx number is important to remember and save?

You can put your callsign there.0

Yes, I know, and you can also put your call sign in the Callsign box, but I'm still wondering why there's a Nickname box?0

I put my callsign and “/ACS” to alert our Emcom volunteers that they are welcome to use my racked Flex too. I plan to train them remotely to encourage upgrading their licenses.

It might prove handy to use the nickname to indicate the radios location. If you operate from more than one location i.e. remote etc.0

I think you answered your own question. You can use it for what ever you want. The main idea was to have a place to ID the radio. In Mine I simply put “6500/GPS”.0

My 6700 goes by Fleksnes. The real Fleksnes was a Norwegian actor and comedian. He has put many smiles on my face watching his movies. Just as my 6700 does, putting smiles on my face ..0
