Rename or delete a microphone profile

The Profile Manager lets you rename a microphone profile by saving the current radio state under a new name, and delete profiles you no longer need. Use this to keep your microphone profile list tidy as your setup changes.

Before you start

• AetherSDR must be connected to the radio. The Profile Manager requires an active radio connection.
• Know which profile you want to rename or delete. The active profile is highlighted in the list.

Steps

To rename a microphone profile

There is no in-place rename command. Renaming is a two-step process: create a new profile with the desired name, then delete the old one.

1. Click Profiles > Profile Manager....
2. Click the Microphone tab.
3. Click the profile you want to rename in the Profile list. Its name appears in the Profile name field.
4. Clear the Profile name field and type the new name.
5. Click Save. The radio creates a new microphone profile under the new name and the list updates.
6. Click the original profile name in the Profile list.
7. Click Delete. A confirmation dialog appears asking "Delete profile "name"?".
8. Click Yes. The profile is removed from the list.
9. Click Close.

To delete a microphone profile

To delete or load a transmit profile

Tips

• Selecting a profile in the Profile list automatically populates the Profile name field. For a rename, simply overwrite that text before clicking Save.
• Load and Delete are disabled until you select a profile in the list. If either button is greyed out, click a profile name first.
• The list refreshes automatically when the radio reports a change. You do not need to reopen the dialog after creating or deleting.
• Microphone profiles cannot be overwritten directly. To update an existing microphone profile, enable Auto-save profile changes on the Auto-Save tab and then make your changes while the profile is active.
• The Auto-save profile changes checkbox stays in sync with the radio: if auto-save is toggled by another client or by the profile load process, the checkbox updates automatically.
• The Load button for transmit profiles now uses the profile tx load command internally. This change is transparent and does not affect how you interact with the dialog.

Troubleshooting

• Delete is greyed out — No profile is selected in the Profile list. Click a profile name to select it, then click Delete.
• Save appears but the new profile does not show in the list — The radio pushes list updates asynchronously. Wait a moment for the list to refresh. If it does not update, close and reopen the Profile Manager.
• I get a "Profile already exists" dialog — You attempted to create a microphone profile with a name that already exists. The radio cannot overwrite microphone profiles. Click Enable Auto-Save in the dialog to turn on automatic profile saving, then load the existing profile and make your changes to update it.
• The old profile name is still present after deleting — You may have clicked No at the confirmation prompt. Repeat steps 3–5 and click Yes to confirm.
• Transmit profile load fails — Ensure the radio is connected and the transmit profile name is valid. The dialog uses the profile tx load command for loading transmit profiles.
