Labelling frequencies - Frequency Database?

[iantresman]

In the horizontal Receiver pane, I want to label a frequency with the name of a radio station; Google Gemini tells me to use the Frequency Database, but I can't see the "Add" button it refers to.
What am I missing?

For this particular task you probably want Markers rather then the Database. With a Marker you can very quickly label one spot frequency which is I think what you are trying to do.

Frequency Database not about placing markers on the waterfall. It's there to have open in a separate panel to be able to quickly tune to a station from a large number of stations in a text list. A database will most often be a large list of frequencies compiled by a third party provider like Aoki oer EiBi. Often these are lists of broadcast station frequencies but can be lists of any frequencies.

Talking about recalling frequencies (also to quickly set up a number of band change "switches") see Favourites and Memories:

Broadly speaking Memories are for quick frequency storage and recall. Favourites store much more than just the frequency and mode. Also lots of other parameters such as the display span, the contrast settings, the audio selections, filter width etc. etc. That's why Favourites are very useful to set up as band change switches.
