What each control does

Control Behavior
Edit button Enters inline-edit mode on the selected memory's Name column. Only enabled when exactly one memory is selected.
F2 / Ctrl+E Keyboard shortcut that triggers the same edit mode as the Edit button.

Tips

  • The Name column supports up to the character limit set by the radio firmware. AetherSDR encodes the name as required by SmartSDR protocol.
  • To cancel editing, press Esc before pressing Enter.
  • The Memory Channels dialog uses a PersistentDialog framework that remembers its size and position across sessions. Geometry is stored in the setting MemoryDialogGeometry and is restored the next time the dialog opens.

Memory Channels dialog

Open the dialog
