Crash when changing Profiles work around

Dan -- KC4GO

As many had reported the radio will lose communications when changing profiles and crash which requires a restart of the radio I have had to power cycle the radio a couple of times. 

As a workaround I found that if I close all the pan-adapters (X in the upper right corner of each pan-adapter) and start with a blank screen (Gray Box) then load the profile I have far fewer crashes.   I currently have 17 profiles most of which have 4 pan-adapters some in the ham bands and some for short wave or utility listening... Marine, Aviation, NASA Test Range etc... I cycled through all of these with out clearing and crashed 90% of the time I went through them twice by exiting all the pan-adapters and then calling the profile and only had 1 failure.  

This is with a 6500 if others would test this it may be away to avoid the crashes. I think I saw reports from all 6000 radios except the 6700R 

I wasn't sure were to post this as it's not a Question, Idea, Praise or Problem but the workaround was developed from a problem so I posted it there.

Dan, same here with profile changing, BTW some time in case select call in claster with band changing and split
with high hope it will be solved in 1.4

I have the same issue with crashes on profile change with my 6300.  Dan, you are quite right; it does not happen if I close the slice receivers first; nice tip - thanks.

This issue has been addressed in the upcoming SmartSDR v1.4.

Yea I know read the community, but found this worked well for me and thought I would share the workaround.  Having worked in the cellular world from the beginning I found that workarounds were a way of life with all new technology  As a user I can be part of the problem or part of the solution, I prefer being part of the solution...
Thanks for all you do,
