Having different preamp settings per band with profiles

Andy - KU7T

I am failing miserably with profiles. I hope someone can straighten me out. There is something about profiles that is hard for me to get it seems...

I would like to setup different preamp settings for ANT on 20 and 15. Thats it. nothing fancy. I created 2 global profiles, 20MCWANT1 and 15MCWANT1 but when I switched bands they are not being picked by the radio. So, it seems I have create and saved them but not assigned them yet?

Can someone help?

Thanks,

Or do what Craig has described with FRStack.

Joe, 
I have a similar setup with antenna switching. I switch antennas manually though. 

Do you always have 80m on slice A, ANT1, and 40m on slice B, ANT2, no matter which band of the two you actually run on?  I am accustomzed to run with EW1 and do S&P with EW2, and am trying to figure out if I need to change...

Yes.  What is EW1 and EW2 ?

Andy - KU7T

Sorry, I was not more clear.

EW1: entry window in N1MM+ for the left radio
EW2: entry window in N1MM+ for the right radio

I usually have them on the screen next to each other, they correspond like Slice A = EW1 + left keyboard, slice B = EW2 + right keyboard.

Oh, OK.  I have my entry windows set the same way.  I use a single keyboard.  Sometimes I run on EW1 and sometimes I run on EW2.  It doesnt matter to me.  I dont have to reconfigure my slices that way.  It gives me the flexability to jump around when I feel like running on the other slice for a while.

I run everything from profiles. Only use command buttons to make setting that are remembered in the profiles. I do find that persistence sometimes conflicts with the profile system. I feel that there needs to be a priority system that will automatically put a desired selection to the profile system. This would improve repeatability of a profile selection. The present persistance programming seems seems to work as a band prioritized settings. I have found that profiles work best as band centric. So I assign a band to all profiles, even if the same settings are used from band to band. Unfortunately this ends up making lots of profile entries. I wish there was a way to reduce this profile clutter. This could be expressed as a sub profile. So one could set up, let’s say FT8 profile. Then have some language that would look like this: (80,40,20) (FT8) This would allow one entry instead of 3.

I suppose there are many ways to do this.  I find it much easier to load a single global profile that will give me two panadapters with band, mode, filter settings, power and antenna ports that I want and be done with it.
