Xe top display text

[D4chaplain]

So i have an apx 6000xe. The top display rotates from zone to channel. Ive googled how to stop that, saw one saying that removing the zone lettering would hwlp is text was under x amount. It now just leaves the zone blank then shows channel. I could have swore i saw something here that said how to stop the rotsting text. Any help from anyone? Just need channel to display.

Set the Top Zone Text Size to 0.

Thats it. Thanks!

An interesting consequence of setting top zone text size to 0 is that it caused all of my top display zone text fields under zone channel assignments to show as invalid. I had to clear all of them out in addition to changing the top zone text size setting. Not sure if that is normal, or if it was just a quirk with my config. Would've liked to have been able to leave those in so reverting the change would've been as easy as setting the top zone text size back to a non-zero value, if I ever decide I want them back.

Same for me. I have the important zones with VA so i just cleared them.

Expected behavior. If you set the zone text to 0, you must clear out the zone names, otherwise you're left with invalid fields.

Related: is there any way to adjust the size of the radio's alias on the top display? I didn't see one, so I suspect not, but wanted to confirm. I understand there is no way to get rid of it entirely without turning radio alias off. The problem is our aliases are long enough that they scroll at the default size, so you spend 2/3 of the time looking at your own alias, and only 1/3 looking at the name of the selected channel. You get:

1: XYZ FD 123...
2: ...456
3: Channel 1

It does seem like the alias goes away on its own after a minute, and you just get the channel, though? If the size can't be changed, is there a way to adjust that duration?
