Initials, or "short name", can be customized in the Radio configuration - User settings. The four characters displayed after your initials cannot be changed. These are the last four hex digits of the device MAC address. Devices with unset names will display these four characters as the device short name.

### Delete a radio
Deleting a listed, Bluetooth connected radio, is not handled by the app. You will need to go into your phones Bluetooth settings and choose "Forget" the connection. Only then will it be removed from the radio list.
