Switch to a single full-width panadapter

This page explains how to change the panadapter area to display one full-width panadapter. Use this when you want to focus on a single slice without split-screen clutter.

Before you start

  • AetherSDR must be connected to a Flex radio. The layout dialog requires an active radio connection.

Steps

  1. Right-click anywhere in the panadapter area to open the Panadapter Layout dialog.
  2. Click the preview tile labeled Single (1 pan).
  3. The dialog closes immediately and the panadapter area switches to a single full-width view.

What each control does

Control Description Setting key
Single (1 pan) tile Selects the single full-width layout (layout ID 1). Clicking it confirms the selection and closes the dialog. PanLayout
Layout tiles (other) Preview tiles for all other arrangements. Grayed out if the radio's licensed pan count is insufficient. PanLayout
Cancel Closes the dialog without changing the current layout.

Tips

  • The tile for the currently active layout is highlighted with a distinct border. If the Single (1 pan) tile is already highlighted, the layout is already set to single and no change is needed.
  • Tiles for layouts that require more panadapters than your radio supports are disabled and show a forbidden cursor. The single layout is always available.
