UV-5R/GT-3 TDR Dual Watch

[C2]

Is it possible to turn off the dual display/watch and make this radio use just one frequency? I'm fiddling with Menu 7 TDR and turning dual watch off, but I cannot see what it does since the display still shows both frequencies.

I just put mine where top/bottom are the same. I like it since the top shows the channel "name" in letters, and the bottom shows the actual frequency. Might be a better way, but it works for me.

That's a neat idea. I thought I had read somewhere that the dual watch feature could not actually be turned off. I do not know what that toggle does. Maybe the dual watch actually does turn off, and just the "B" VFO display remains? (O, yes, I just confirmed. That wasn't too hard).
