Net Scheduler overview¶
The Net Scheduler helps you manage recurring on-air nets β think weekly club nets, daily DX nets, or monthly ARES drills. You can create entries with recurrence rules, set reminders that show a banner on the panadapter, and tune to a net with one click. Schedules can be imported or exported as JSON for backup or sharing.
How it works¶
- Open the dialog via
Tools > Net Scheduler.... - The Net table lists every scheduled net with its name, frequency, recurrence rule, next occurrence, and reminder time. Double-click a row, or select it and click Tune Now, to QSY the active slice.
- Add Net opens the net editor where you supply a name, frequency, mode, Recurrence rule, and Reminder time.
- Capture Current grabs the current VFO frequency, mode, and filter settings to pre-fill a new or existing entry.
- Edit / Delete modifies or removes the selected net.
- Import / Export saves or loads the entire schedule as a
.jsonfile. - When a net is due, a reminder banner appears on the panadagger the specified number of minutes beforehand.
A Next net indicator displays the name and countdown to the next upcoming scheduled net.
