Switch to a saved transmit profile¶
Load a previously saved transmit profile onto the radio. This applies a stored set of TX parameters in one step, replacing the current transmit settings.
Before you start¶
- AetherSDR must be connected to the radio. Profile Manager requires an active radio connection.
- At least one transmit profile must already exist on the radio. If the profile list is empty, create a profile first.
Steps¶
- Click
Profiles > Profile Manager...to open the Profile Manager dialog. - Click the Transmit (tab) to switch to the transmit profile list.
- Click the profile you want to load in the Profile list. The active profile is highlighted.
- Click Load.
Alternatively, double-click any entry in the Profile list to load it without clicking Load.
What each control does¶

Notes¶
- The button for saving profiles is labeled Save, not Create. To update an existing profile, enable Auto-save profile changes on the Auto-Save (tab) — changes to the active profile are then captured automatically.
- The Auto-save profile changes checkbox syncs with the radio automatically. Changes made outside the dialog (by TCI clients, profile load, or remote SmartSDR clients) will update the checkbox state.
- If you attempt to save a profile with a name that already exists and Auto-Save is off, a dialog offers to enable Auto-Save so future changes to the profile are captured.
Tips¶
- Selecting a profile in the list fills the Profile name field with that profile's name. If you enter a different name and click Save, a new profile is created with that name.
- To persist TX changes to the active transmit profile without manual saving, enable Auto-save profile changes on the Auto-Save (tab).
Troubleshooting¶
- Load is grayed out — No profile is selected in the Profile list. Click a profile name to select it, then click Load.
- Profile list is empty — No profiles exist for the selected category on the radio yet. Use Save to make one first.
- Clicking Save does nothing for an existing name — The radio cannot directly overwrite profiles. Enable Auto-Save so your changes are captured automatically, or manually make changes while the profile is active and Auto-Save is on.
