Browse the Radio's Stored Memories¶
The Memory Browser is a read-only side panel that lists all memories stored on the connected FLEX-8600. Use it to scan stored frequencies at a glance and quickly tune to any entry.
Before you start¶
- AetherSDR must be connected to a FLEX-8600 radio. The Memory Browser requires an active radio connection.
- At least one memory must be stored on the radio. If none exist, the panel shows "No memories are available yet." and the table is not displayed.
- Memory browsing must be enabled so the panel appears in the main window. See
Settings > Memory...to configure memory options.
Steps¶
- Open the Memory Browser side panel. It appears docked in the main window splitter when memory browsing is enabled.
- Review the memory table. Columns are Frequency (in MHz, six decimal places) and Name.
- Scroll through the list. Memories are sorted by frequency in ascending order. Entries with the same frequency are ordered by their internal index.
- Note the highlighted row. The row highlighted in a distinct background color is the memory whose frequency is closest to the current tuned frequency.
- To activate a memory, double-click its row, or select it and press Enter.
What each control does¶
| Control | Behavior | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Memory table | Lists all stored memories with valid frequencies. Double-click or press Enter to activate a row. | Columns: Frequency, Name. Read-only; editing is disabled. |
| Highlighted row | Marks the memory closest to the current tuned frequency. The panel scrolls automatically to keep it visible. | Updated whenever the tuned frequency changes. |
| "No memories are available yet." | Shown in place of the table when the radio has no memories loaded. | Disappears once memories are available. |
Tips¶
- The Name column shows the memory's name if set. If no name is set but a group is assigned, the group name is shown instead. If neither is set, the entry appears as "Memory" followed by its index number.
- Memories with a frequency of 0 or unset are excluded from the table entirely.
- Long names and frequencies that exceed column width are truncated with an ellipsis. Hover over any cell to see the full value in a tooltip.
