There are a lot of overlooked details or functions about the display of the radio screen that actually help a lot at critical moments!

What secrets does the radio screen hide?

1. What the screen shows

Traditional analog radio with screen usually displays frequency, channel number, CTCSS/DCS, power level, battery status, etc. to the user in a very limited screen space.

The display of these common information allows users to have some basic understanding of radio’s condition, but more information has to be discarded due to only thumb-sized screen display space.

It brings up another question: what information do we need to display on the screen?

2. Screen size

In the new generation of radios, a larger screen has more space that designers have the opportunity to design a better and more detailed screen information display layout, thereby bringing users a better experience.
