Create a separate mic profile per microphone

The Microphone tab in Profile Manager lets you save, load, and delete microphone profiles stored on the radio. By saving a named profile for each physical microphone, you can switch mic settings instantly without manually re-entering EQ, level, and processing values.

Before you start

• AetherSDR must be connected to the radio. Profile Manager requires an active radio connection.
• Configure the radio's mic settings for the first microphone before saving. The profile captures the current state at the moment you click Save.

Steps

1. Open Profiles > Profile Manager....
2. Click the Microphone tab.
3. Set up your radio's microphone settings (level, EQ, processing) for the first microphone if you have not already done so.
4. Click in the Profile name field and type a name for this microphone — for example, Desk Mic.
5. Click Save. The profile appears in the Profile list.
6. Connect or select your second microphone and adjust the radio's mic settings to suit it.
7. Click in the Profile name field, clear any existing text, and type a name for the second microphone — for example, Headset.
8. Click Save. The second profile now appears in the Profile list alongside the first.
9. To switch between microphones in future sessions, select the profile name in the Profile list and click Load, or double-click the profile name.
10. Click Close when finished.

Tips

• Selecting a profile in the Profile list copies its name into the Profile name field. If you want to overwrite an existing profile with updated settings, simply select it and click Save without changing the name.
• The Profile list updates automatically when the radio reports a change, so a newly saved profile appears without reopening the dialog.
• To keep mic settings for the active profile current without manual saves, enable Auto-save profile changes on the Auto-Save tab. See Turn on auto-save so TX tweaks always persist for details. Note that AutoSaveTransmitProfile applies to both TX and mic settings.

Troubleshooting

• Load and Delete are greyed out — No profile is selected in the Profile list. Click a profile name to select it.
• Save does nothing — Both the Profile name field and the Profile list selection are empty. Type a name in Profile name before clicking Save.
• Profile list is empty — No microphone profiles have been saved on this radio yet. Follow the steps above to create the first one.
