Edit 2: I used  :SYSTem:TYPE DM3068 plus various combinations of the command structure and nothing worked to do anything.  The plus side is that all is still OK with my DM3058E. So no 6 1/2 digits for it, but its not bricked either.

Well, I think any of those special "set" commands (as always) only work with a vendor USB disk inserted.

Hello TV84:  Ok, I'm ready to do it, but what should I use for a 'Vendor USB Disk'?  Can I get one at Walmart, or Amazon?  Hi Hi, Ted
PS  : BTW Hi Hi is similar to Ha Ha.

Edit:  I'm not worried about bricking it as the DM3058 and E version firmware are the same package.  Whereas the DM3068 is apparently different(?).  Although I just noticed and the DM3058/E and DM3068 LDR firmware files are same size.  So that is interesting, maybe at one time the DM3058 was going to be also be used for the DM3068 hardware platform.  Anyway I'm looking forward to going ahead on changing the Model Name, although I don't necessarily have high expectations.

I added color coded labels to my DM832 as part of its conversion to a DM832A.  Unfortunately I used the camera's Flash that ended up washing out the colors, although the actual label colors are quite well matched to those of the LCD's Classic Display.

Edit:  New replacement photo.  I added Color to the three Channel selection buttons.  Had to use Flash again because the ambient lighting wasn't sufficient.

Last Edit: Added information about Using Sharpie Permanent Color Markers for adding LCD matching colors.

The colors are from Sharpie Permanent Color Markers (fine tip). You will have go to where they have a huge selection of different color markers, or otherwise get a large (qty 24) assortment package that you can select your particular colors from (confirm that your colors are included). The DC Output labels can be numbered using Dry-Transfer Decals. I had some old miscellaneous VHF Tape labels that simplified things for me.

My channel Button colors, and DC Output number label colors match the LCD display colors very well. You do have to coat the Buttons several times over a couple of days to get the markers to stain the buttons sufficiently, and the results look great. They will basically be permanent, although you can use a solvent on them to lighten the color if required as you go along. You can use gasoline as a solvent (Suggestion! Stay away from open flames). Gasoline will not affect the number label on the buttons, and it is also safe to use on the front panel's surface.  You may prefer using a less volatile solvent, but this works well for me.
