I Channel naming The IC-M71 has a capability to assign up to 10-character channel names or comments for each operating channel, including each weather channel. This provides easy recognition of channel usage, or station names, etc. When shipped from the factory, the IC-M71 is programmed with default names for each VHF marine channel. You may replace the factory-set opening comment with a comment of your own. The comment may be up to 16 characters long.
