*Newbie errors/inaccuracies ahead: Disable TDR/Dual Watch on Baofeng AR-5RM and Radioddity DB20-G?

[WSJW650]

Trying to simplify the configuration/display.  Have seen on Youtube that some have configured their specific models to have A set as "main" and B is the same channel as A, but displays the A frequency.

I see that with some models such as the Baofeng BF-F8HP......and utilizing the older version of CHIRP, there was a check box in Advanced settings to enable or disable "Dual Watch"

I set configured by Baofeng AR-5RM utilizing CHIRP-NEXT and some with the Baofeng UV-17 program........and configured my Radioddity DB20-G with CHIRP-NEXT and a tiny bit with the Radioddity DB20-G program.

Despite four days of research and struggle, I just can't figure out how to set up both units with the Main "A" set up as Channel Name and "B" below displaying the frequency of "A"

I have the feeling that I may be attempting the impossible with the specific models I have.  Please point me in the right direction if possible.

Very much appreciated.  Thank you.

You are.. kinda..

Dual-Watch/TDR only disables the active-monitoring of both the A channel and the B channel. On most radios, when you disable Dual-Watch/TDR, the B-channel still shows, it's just silent.

What you want is "Channel synchronization", which most/many radios do not have. 

A work around is to set A to display as "Channel" or "Name", then set B to display as "Frequency" then always keep both A and B on the same channel.

Thank you very much….yes, synchronization. 
Very helpful work around you suggested.
