Way to disable APX7k top radio display - radio alias?

Is there a way to disable the top display from displaying the radio alias? Kinda annoying to see the channel, then zone, then radio alias scroll across.

After programming, it doesn't show, but after a power cycle its back. I like having it on the front display, just don't want to see it on the top display. I am sure I am missing the right combination fo check boxes etc.

On my FPP 7K i just erased the existing legend for the top display and the display
stayed blank, except for small display items on the top line. I try to stay away from
using the CPS because the CPS is such a pain to engage, change, and save.

Regards,

I see the above to blank out the zone, but I do want the zone and channel to stay, just the radio alias to go.

I have multiple talkgroups that are area wide and used thru different zone, so zone is still important to me to make sure when I click around the channels, I know where I am.

I'm not aware of any way to disable the top display of the radio alias, but it should cycle on the top display only temporarily, for only 30 secs or a minute after powerup.
