Rename or delete a microphone profile

The Profile Manager lets you rename a microphone profile by saving the current radio state under a new name, and delete profiles you no longer need. Use this to keep your microphone profile list tidy as your setup changes.

Before you start

• AetherSDR must be connected to the radio. The Profile Manager requires an active radio connection.
• Know which profile you want to rename or delete. The active profile is highlighted in the list.

Steps

To rename a microphone profile

There is no in-place rename command. Renaming is a two-step process: save under the new name, then delete the old one.

1. Click Profiles > Profile Manager....
2. Click the Microphone tab.
3. Click the profile you want to rename in the Profile list. Its name appears in the Profile name field.
4. Clear the Profile name field and type the new name.
5. Click Save. The radio saves the current microphone state under the new name and the list updates.
6. Click the original profile name in the Profile list.
7. Click Delete. A confirmation dialog appears asking "Delete profile "name"?".
8. Click Yes. The profile is removed from the list.
9. Click Close.

What each control does

Control	Kind	Behavior
Microphone tab	Tab	Switches the dialog to manage microphone profiles.
Profile name	Text field	Holds the name used when saving a new profile. Populated automatically when you select a profile from the list.
Profile list	List	Shows all microphone profiles on the radio. The active profile is highlighted.
Load	Button	Loads the selected profile onto the radio. Enabled only when a profile is selected.

Tips

• Selecting a profile in the Profile list automatically populates the Profile name field. For a rename, simply overwrite that text before clicking Save.
• Load and Delete are disabled until you select a profile in the list. If either button is greyed out, click a profile name first.
• The list refreshes automatically when the radio reports a change. You do not need to reopen the dialog after saving or deleting.

Troubleshooting

• Delete is greyed out — No profile is selected in the Profile list. Click a profile name to select it, then click Delete.
• The renamed profile does not appear in the list — The radio pushes list updates asynchronously. Wait a moment for the list to refresh. If it does not update, close and reopen the Profile Manager.
• The old profile name is still present after deleting — You may have clicked No at the confirmation prompt. Repeat steps 3–5 and click Yes to confirm.
