Export memories for backup or sharing

Export your stored memory channels to a CSV file for safekeeping or to share with other operators. You can export all memories at once or a specific selection.

Before you start

• AetherSDR must be connected to the radio. The Memory Channels dialog requires an active radio connection.
• You must have at least one memory channel stored on the radio.

Steps

1. Open Settings > Memory... to open the Memory Channels dialog.
2. Select the memories you want to export from the memory table. Click a row to select it. Shift-click to select a range. Ctrl-click (or Command-click on macOS) to add or remove individual rows.
3. To export every memory, click Select All to select all rows before proceeding.
4. Click Export....
5. In the file dialog that opens, confirm or change the destination path and filename. The default filename is in the form AetherSDR_Memories_<date-time>_v<version>.csv and is placed in your home Documents folder.
6. Confirm the save. AetherSDR writes the selected memories to the CSV file.

Notes on the dialog window

The Memory Channels dialog uses a custom title bar with an 18 px gradient background. The title bar displays "Memory Channels" with a grip glyph on the left side. You can:

• Click and drag the title bar to move the dialog.
• Double-click the title bar to toggle between maximized and restored state.
• Click any edge or corner and drag to resize the dialog. The cursor changes to indicate the resize direction. The resize hit zone is 12 pixels wide via FramelessResizer.
• Click the minimize button (—) to minimize the dialog.
• Click the maximize button (□) to maximize or restore the dialog.
• Click the close button (×) to close the dialog. Press Escape to clear the search field first, then close the dialog on a second press.

The dialog remembers its geometry across sessions. When reopened, it restores to its previous size and position.

The memory table uses themed background colors determined by the current application theme. The alternate row color and selected item highlight are set to match the active theme's color scheme.

Tips

• If you want to export only the memories belonging to a particular profile, use the Profile: combo box to filter the table to that profile first, then click Select All before clicking Export....
• The exported file is sorted by frequency, then by internal memory index, regardless of the current table sort order.
• The exported CSV file can be imported back into AetherSDR using Import....
