Global Profile Confusion

This is why I do not use Profiles.Way to confusing.

Lionel. You will need to create and save a global profile for each band mode and slice combo that want. I do this all the time. Once I get everything set the way I want I simply open profile manager and save as a global profile. I have a dozen or more global profiles saved. Most of them are for two slices on different bands. When I want to change bands I load the appropriate profile. I don’t manually change bands. I find it easier this way.

They are really not that difficult to use. Just takes some practice. With profiles you can quickly change bands modes and slices with a touch of a button. They are a very powerful tool !

Using Global Profiles in this way can become cumbersome unless you don’t change bands very often in the course of an operating session....I.e. if you want to set up a slice/pan for 40 SSB and another one for FT8 on 20 and stay in that mode for a long afternoon.

But using Global Profiles for simple band changes is overkill in my book.

But they are handy, for such things as remembering a setup with 4 bands of FT8 on 4 pans..... or setting up for SO2R on the next contest, ... or setting up 2 slices in Full Duplex on the XVTR port for audio adjustments....etc.

But operating styles very. The beauty of the Flex 6000 Series is that users can adapt whatever methods they want to, once they fully understand the way the various Profiles work....

Exactly Joe..  and the best method to date to set up all parameters with a single click.
"OVERKILL" is way underrated!
