That is the default, so you are good to go. However, the dropdown box which
normally shows Model also allows you to select Addresses, which will make
the needed boxes active.

I'm considering buying another FM HT for the birds, mainly to use as a
backup - for demos. (I already have a D72, which is my main unit for
personal use and demos right now, and a VX7R, but the latter has seen
better days.)
For those of you who have attempted to use just a D72 for a demo - with an
external speaker as well as the headset/mic - this results in a rat's nest
of adapters/connectors/wires. I have the adapter sold on eBay, but
unfortunately it attenuates the audio signal (for digital voice recorders),
instead of amplifying it for an external speaker , which is what I need. (I
guess I could use a powered speaker on that output, but that's one more
thing to carry - and power-up! :-) )
So I think *two* radios might work better - wiring wise - for demos. If I
buy a Baofeng (or similar), I won't use it for the receive part due to the
desense problems on some models (looking at the section in 2019's "Getting
Started with Amateur Satellites"). I'm considering the Alinco, since it
does have 1.2 Ghz, and using the D72 for receive in that set up (but that
still doesn't easily solve the wiring/connector mess for an external
speaker/headphones for that radio).
Are there other radios which are more "external speaker" friendly which I
should consider? I'm open to almost any combination of manufacturers
(except for the Baofeng types for receive, as noted above). I'm even open
to buying another D72 (but probably hoarding it except for special
occasions.)
In short, what are your recommendations for a second, spare, radio for the
FM birds?
I'm also curious how others have wired their single HTs - or two HTs - for
demos using an external speaker. So if you could explain - with or without
pictures - how you accomplish this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

Phil,
I have an external powered speaker I clip on my belt, center of my back.
Your right about the rats nest of wires. I?m going to put together a ?demo
only harness, using some form of wiring loom to keep everything neat and tidy.
Alinco HT is fine for TX side, with added bonus of L-band capability.

Bob,
Unless something has changed, Drew mentioned it will be in L/V for the
first half of FD and U/V for the second half.
Hope you work you this weekend.

I can't remember if this was on Twitter or the bb, but a lot of people
didn't realize for demos you can split AFTER the audio recorder. Put
your splitter on the headphone out of the recorder, your headset goes
in port one and the external speaker goes in the other. This might
work around the attenuation issue as the attenuation is generally to
bring it down to line or even mic level which is obviously very low
compared to what an external speaker wants.
With that said, I'm not sure if the ebay special supports that
configuration. I use my own custom cable with some resistors in line.

Since the majority of Field Day operators may not have the 1.2G equipment
while out in the field is there a way to keep AO-92 in U/V mode?
AO-91 is going to be extremely busy.
Inquiring minds are asking....

It is in U/v normally. They are actively switching it to L/v.
>From ANS:
AMSAT Operations Updates AO-85 Status / AO-92 Field Day Plans
AO-85's FM repeater is still active during the current period of
full illumination. Both downlink and uplink frequencies are off freq-
uency low and DUV telemetry is not active. Continued operations are
not guaranteed after the full illumination period ends on June 19.
Work it while you can!
AO-92 will be available in both U/v and L/v for Field Day this year.
The current plan is to command AO-92 to L/v on the 0416Z pass on June
22, the evening before Field Day. The 24 hour timer will then run to
expiration, and the satellite will revert to Mode U/v for the
remainder of Field Day weekend. The planned timing should provide for
at least one accessible pass for the continental US in L/v before
returning to U/v. If commanding to L/v on the 0416Z pass is not
successful, we will reattempt Field Day morning. Please keep the
uplink clear during commanding.
Additionally, requests were made to the LilacSat-2, IO-86 and PO-101
command stations for special scheduling of these FM repeaters for
Field Day. Please watch for these teams? schedule announcements on
Twitter and amsat-bb prior to Field Day weekend. Note that IO-86
is only accessible to those stations below about 30 degrees of
latitude, but is a very strong repeater and easily worked to the
local horizon.
The FM repeaters on AO-91 and SO-50 are also expected to be available
as normal during Field Day.
[ANS thanks AMSAT Vice President-Operations Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA,
for the above information.]

We announced the AO-92 plan for Field Day last weekend in ANS, which is
always cross-posted to this email list.
https://www.amsat.org/ans-167-amsat-news-service-bulletins-for-june-16/
AO-91, SO-50, IO-86, PO-101, and LilacSat-2 will all be available on Field
Day in V/u or U/v FM repeater, and lots and lots of transponders are out
there. Setting aside half of the weekend on AO-92 for L/v is a fair
compromise.

Philip,
I often use my TH-D72 for demonstrations, and have gone
with a simpler setup than in the past. I use an unpowered
external speaker with a long patch cable, and put it a
few feet away from me. I also make sure the speaker isn't
firing back at me, to avoid audio feedback when I am
transmitting. I use this short cable with right-angle plug
to go into the TH-D72's 2.5mm speaker jack:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KOJAJKW/
I find the TH-D72 has enough audio output to drive an
unpowered external speaker to a reasonable audio level.
I sometimes plug a splitter into this short cable with
adapter plug, if I want to directly record the downlink
audio, but usually skip the splitter and put an audio
recorder in my pocket - or hold it in the same hand as
the TH-D72. Then I make sure to say the call sign of
each station I work, so the recorder at least picks that
up.
I also have a no-name Bluetooth speaker, which also has
a jack for a patch cable on the back side. This is an
amplified speaker with a built-in battery (which can also
be used to power or charge devices through a USB
connection), so there are no extra cables needed when I
use this speaker instead of the unpowered speaker I
normally use.
If you would like to see pictures of my setup, please let
me know. I will e-mail you some pictures directly.

For those of you who have attempted to use just a D72 for a demo - with an
> external speaker as well as the headset/mic - this results in a rat's nest
> of adapters/connectors/wires. I have the adapter sold on eBay, but
> unfortunately it attenuates the audio signal (for digital voice recorders),
> instead of amplifying it for an external speaker , which is what I need. (I
> guess I could use a powered speaker on that output, but that's one more
> thing to carry - and power-up! :-) )
>
> So I think *two* radios might work better - wiring wise - for demos. If I

> desense problems on some models (looking at the section in 2019's "Getting
> Started with Amateur Satellites"). I'm considering the Alinco, since it
> does have 1.2 Ghz, and using the D72 for receive in that set up (but that
