Memory Channels

Memory Channels

The Memory Channels dialog is AetherSDR's interface to the radio's on-board memory bank — frequency, mode, filter, repeater offset, CTCSS tone, squelch, and step size all stored together for quick recall.

Open from Settings → Memory Channels… or the MEM indicator in the status bar.

The dialog

The window opens with the project-standard frameless chrome by default — custom 18 px title bar at the top and 8-axis edge resize on the body, matching SpotHub / RadioSetup / etc. Toggle frameless mode globally via View → Frameless Window.

Search + Profile filter

• Search box — type a memory name and press Enter to jump to that entry; live-filters the table as you type
• Profile filter — drop-down selects "All Memories" or a specific saved profile (you can save the current memory bank as a named profile via Edit → Save Profile…)

The table

Sortable columns:

Column	What
Group	Optional grouping label
Owner	Callsign that created the memory (per-slice)
Frequency	RX (and TX, if different)
Name	User-assigned name (e.g. "K7ID Repeater")
Mode	USB, LSB, CW, FM, etc.
Step	Tuning step in Hz
FM TX Offset Dir	Up / Down / Simplex
Repeater Offset	MHz
Tone Mode	None, CTCSS_TX, CTCSS_TX_RX, CTCSS_RX, DCS_TX, DCS_TX_RX
Tone Value	Hz (CTCSS) or DCS code
Squelch	On/off + level

Buttons (bottom row)

Button	Action
Add	Create a new memory at the active slice's current frequency / mode / filter
Edit	Edit the selected row(s) — opens a dialog with all fields
Tune	Tune the active slice to the selected memory (also: double-click any row)
Select All	Select every visible row
Import…	Import memories from a CSV file (CHIRP / RT Systems compatible)
Export…	Export the current bank to CSV
Remove	Delete the selected memory or memories

Selection count is shown to the right of the buttons (e.g. "1 of 2 selected").

Quick interactions

• Double-click any row — tunes the active slice to that memory
• Shift-click a range — selects multiple rows
• Ctrl-click rows — adds/removes individual rows from the selection
• Inline edit — Frequency, Name, Mode, Tone, and Squelch columns are editable in place; press Enter to commit
• Rendering on the panadapter — when SpotHub's Memories toggle is on, every memory channel renders as a spot-style marker on the panadapter at its frequency. See SpotHub.

Quick-Add

Right-click the panadapter at any frequency to get the Add Memory… option — pre-fills the dialog with that frequency, the active slice's mode and filter, and lets you label and save it without leaving the operating view.

Settings

Memory channels live on the radio, not in AppSettings. They persist across power cycles and are visible to every client that connects to the radio. AetherSDR's memory dialog is just a high-fidelity editor for what the radio already stores.

Memory profiles

The radio supports multiple named memory profiles — switch via the Profile drop-down or via the Profile dialog (Settings → Profiles…). Profiles let you keep separate memory banks for contesting, casual operation, repeater hunting, etc.
