Bookmark the current frequency¶
Save the active slice's frequency to the Band Stack panel so you can return to it with a single click.
Before you start¶
- AetherSDR must be connected to a FLEX-8600 radio. The Band Stack panel is only visible when a radio is connected.
- Tune the active slice to the frequency you want to save.
Steps¶
- Locate the Band Stack panel — the narrow vertical strip of colored buttons that sits alongside the panadapter.
- Click
+at the bottom of the Band Stack panel.
The new bookmark appears immediately as a color-coded button showing the frequency in MHz. The button color reflects the band-plan segment for that frequency. Bookmarks are saved automatically to BandStack_<serial>, where <serial> is your radio's serial number.
What each control does¶
| Control | Behavior | Notes |
|---|---|---|
+ |
Adds a bookmark at the active slice's current frequency. | One click; no confirmation dialog. |
| Bookmark buttons | Click to recall the stored frequency; right-click to delete. | Color matches the band-plan segment. |
| ⚙ (gear button) | Opens Band Stack options menu. | See options below. |
| × button | Clears all bookmarks. | Tooltip: "Clear all bookmarks". |
Gear menu options¶
| Option | Values | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Group by band | On / Off | Arranges bookmarks under band headers instead of insertion order. |
| Auto-expiry | Off, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min | Automatically removes bookmarks older than the selected age. |
| Auto-save dwell | Off, 10 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec | Automatically bookmarks a frequency after the slice dwells on it for the chosen duration. |
Tips¶
- Pair Auto-save dwell with Auto-expiry to maintain a self-pruning rolling history of recently visited frequencies without any manual bookmarking.
- Hover over a bookmark button to see the full frequency in MHz, the mode, and the RX antenna stored with it.
