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

  1. Click Profiles > Profile Manager... to open the Profile Manager dialog.
  2. Click the Global (tab) tab if it is not already selected.
  3. In the Profile name field, type the name for the new profile.
  4. 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

Tips

  • Clicking an existing profile in the Profile list populates the Profile name field with that profile's name. If you then click Save, the existing profile is overwritten with the current radio state.
  • You can also double-click a profile in the Profile list to load it immediately without clicking Load.
  • The Profile list updates 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 name field does nothing β€” Either type a name in Profile name or select an existing profile in the Profile list first (its name will fill the field automatically).
