Memory Channels overview¶
The Memory Channels dialog lets you store, organize, and recall radio frequencies along with their associated operating parameters. Use it to build a library of repeaters, net frequencies, DX spots, or any frequency you tune to regularly.
Before you start¶
- AetherSDR must be connected to a FLEX-8600 radio. The dialog requires an active radio connection.
How it works¶
Open the dialog with Settings > Memory.... The dialog displays all memories stored on the radio in a scrollable table. From here you can add new memories, edit existing ones, tune to a stored frequency, or manage your memory list in bulk.
Filtering and searching
The top of the dialog provides two filters that work together. The Search: field narrows the table to rows whose name matches the text you type; press Enter or use the clear button to reset it. The Profile: combo box filters by the currently active global profile. Both filters apply simultaneously.
The memory table
Each row represents one stored memory. The columns are:
| Column | What it stores |
|---|---|
| Group | Organizational group name |
| Owner | Owner tag |
| Frequency | Stored frequency in MHz |
| Name | Memory label |
| Mode | Operating mode (e.g. USB, FM, CW) |
| Step | Tuning step |
| FM TX Offset Dir | FM repeater offset direction |
| Repeater Offset | Repeater offset in MHz |
| Tone Mode | CTCSS/DCS tone mode |
| Tone Value | Tone frequency or code |
| Squelch | Squelch enabled/disabled |
| Squelch Level | Squelch threshold level |
| RX Filter Low | Low edge of receive filter in Hz |
| RX Filter High | High edge of receive filter in Hz |
| RTTY Mark | RTTY mark frequency |
| RTTY Shift | RTTY shift |
| DIGL Offset | Digital lower sideband offset |
| DIGU Offset | Digital upper sideband offset |
Click a column header to sort by that column. Click again to reverse the sort order. Multiple rows can be selected using Shift-click for a range or Ctrl-click (Command-click on macOS) to add or remove individual rows. Double-clicking a row tunes the active slice to that memory immediately.
Buttons
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Add | Creates a new memory at the current VFO frequency. |
| Edit | Enters inline-edit mode on the selected memory row. |
| Tune | Tunes the active slice to the selected memory. |
| Select All | Selects every row in the table. |
| Import... | Imports memories from a file. |
| Export... | Exports the selected memories to a file. |
| Remove | Deletes the selected memories after asking for confirmation. |
The selection count indicator at the bottom right of the button row shows how many rows are currently selected.
Tips¶
- The Search: field has a clear button on the right side; click it to remove the filter without clearing the Profile: selection.
- Sorting and filtering do not delete or reorder the memories on the radio; they only change what is visible in the table.
