Save the current radio state as a new global profile¶
Use this page to capture the radio's current state and store it as a named global profile. Global profiles record overall radio configuration so you can return to a known setup later.
Before you start¶
- AetherSDR must be connected to the radio. Profile Manager requires an active radio connection.
- Decide on a name for the new profile before you begin.
Steps¶
- Click
Profiles > Profile Manager...to open the Profile Manager dialog. - Click the
Global (tab)tab if it is not already selected. - In the
Profile namefield, type the name for the new profile. - Click
Save.
The radio saves the current state under the name you typed. The Profile name field clears, and the radio pushes an updated list back to the Profile list.
What each control does¶
| Control | Kind | Behavior | Setting key |
|---|---|---|---|
Profile name |
Text field | Name used when saving a new profile. If left blank when Save is clicked and a profile is selected in the list, the selected profile's name is used instead. | β |
Profile list |
List | Shows all existing global profiles. The active profile is highlighted. | β |
Load |
Button | Loads the selected profile onto the radio. Enabled only when a profile is selected. | β |

Button | Saves the current radio state under the name typed in Profile name. |
β |

Button | Closes the Profile Manager dialog. | β |
Tips¶
- Clicking an existing profile in the
Profile listpopulates theProfile namefield with that profile's name. If you then clickSave, the existing profile is overwritten with the current radio state. - You can also double-click a profile in the
Profile listto load it immediately without clickingLoad. - The
Profile listupdates automatically when the radio confirms the save. You do not need to close and reopen the dialog to see the new entry.
Troubleshooting¶
- Save has no effect and the profile does not appear in the list β Confirm the radio is connected. Profile Manager requires an active radio connection; if the connection dropped, reconnect via
Settings > Connect to Radio...and try again. - Clicking Save with an empty
Profile namefield does nothing β Either type a name inProfile nameor select an existing profile in theProfile listfirst (its name will fill the field automatically).
