In the BaseStation radar screen is it possible to disable the ICAO code on the airport names thereby showing the geographical location only?

Names on the map are Waypoints. One can edit a waypoint file using Notepad or other text editor.
Here's an extract from my UnitedKingdon.wpt file:
Humberside,,2,1,53.57446944,-0.350741667,121
MARGO,,1,2,54.7075,-2.77472,0
Sibson,,15,1,52.55583333,-0.386388889,26
Coventry,,2,1,52.36981,-1.47968,281
This is what Sibson would look like if I wanted to show only the geographical location as "52.55/-0.38":
52.55/-0.38,,15,1,52.55583333,-0.386388889,26
Not sure why one would do that but have a read of Bones' Tutorial and the section T3.2 Outlines:
Usual health warning applies about backing up files before editing.

Graham -- not exactly sure what you mean by "geographical location only", but you don't need any name/title on a waypoint.
The location of Sibson would simply show as a waypoint without any text if you use
,,15,1,52.55583333,-0.386388889,26

Thanks for the response,to clarify my wants what I would like to achieve is the airfield/airports location to appear as Southampton NOT Southampton EGHI.
Are the two posts still relevant?

Thanks for the clarification Graham.
In my example, replace the section in bold ("52.55/-0.38") with the name you want to display.
I suggested reading Bones' Tutorial because he clearly explains the construction of a waypoint line in the wpt file.
The first element (before the comma) is the name that will appear on the map.
Mike-
I am obliged to you.
