Search memories by name¶
Use the Search field in Memory Channels to narrow the table to memories whose names match what you type. This is useful when you have a large number of stored frequencies and want to find a specific one quickly.
Before you start¶
- AetherSDR must be connected to the radio. Memory Channels requires an active radio connection.
- Open Memory Channels via
Settings > Memory....
Steps¶
- Open
Settings > Memory.... - Click the Search: field at the top of the dialog.
- Type any part of the memory name. The table filters as you type — no need to press Enter to see results.
- To jump to and activate the current row, press Enter.
- To clear the filter and show all memories, click the clear button inside the Search: field.

Tips¶
- The filter updates on every keystroke, so you can stop typing as soon as the list is short enough to find your entry.
- After filtering, use Shift-click or Ctrl-click (Command-click on macOS) to select multiple rows from the filtered results.
- To search and immediately tune, type enough of the name to isolate one row, confirm it is highlighted, then press Enter.
- Use Ctrl+F to quickly jump focus to the Search field from anywhere in the dialog.
- Double-click the frameless title bar to toggle maximize/restore.
