The radio (GSM-R) of the train simulator... The instructor can follow this in the instruments panel of the GUI which repeats also the contents of the radio head display.

front-panel radio display / radio control head display
Explanation:
'radio head' means the front-panel portion of a modular radio where the 'body' of the radio may be separate from the 'head' (the front panel with the display and controls).

Judging by the ghits, it is most often used in the context of car radios.

Here GSM-R is a mobile communication for railways that is based on the GSM mobile telephone standard and replaces radio telephones.

Reference information:
I guess the term is "head display" here. They must have preferred "head" for "main" or something like that.
