Understanding profiles
Wayne W5GIE
Member ✭✭
My 6600M is about 1.5 years old, and I can't seem to get a clear understanding of profiles. The 6600M is in a storage room with 220VAC and antenna access. About 99% of the time, operation is over the home wifi system from a desktop in a different room. I can't seem to reliably store or retrieve profiles. For example, the mic profile normally used is stored as "Desktop SSB" with a USB microphone selected on the SDR software as "PC". If I go to a different band and come back to the same profile "Desktop SSB", the microphone is "MIC" and cannot be switched to "PC". Other problems are profiles not pulling up desired power levels or DAX settings. And on occasion, everything works fine. Yes, I have profiles exported/imported. Even if all is working, it may not be after the next power off/on cycle.
I'm looking for a document or youtube that clearly explains things.

I can surly understand your frustration. Here is what I suggest. Make your mic and TX profiles and make sure every setting is just as you want it, then save them. Set you radio up to a mic and TX profile you created,. Now go to create new Global Profile. Create a Global profile with those other profiles loaded I mentioned, name the Globle profile, something like 40 meters SSB and save. Now what you have is a Global Profile with all the settings, everything. Make more Global profiles the same way. Now instead of selecting a seperate mic or TX profile, just go into profile manager and select a Global Profle you created. Everything will always stay the same and never change as you go from band to band.2

Yes there are all kinds of heavy reading around on this subject. I hope I broke it down for you, easy steps and it works so well0

Thats what i do, a global for each band. works fine for me0

If OP is using the front panel of his 6600M, rather than SSDR on a computer, I would suggest reading Section 18 of the 6400M/6600M manual, instead.0

Yes, that is exactly what I do. Then I export and import them. And when I select for example the global "40 meter noon net", the mic profile "Desktop SSB" saved with that global profile may or may not return the correct mic selection. The profiles are almost always set up from the SDR program. One further thing, the 6600M is always turned on/off via the remote contact closure unless that for some reason doesn't work.

Thanks Craig. I have read this before. I'll try again to see if there's anything I missed.0

Wayne, you should not be losing any profiles or having trouble like this. I would open a help desk and seek help. I am starting to wonder if your SD card is showing some corruption.0

Thanks all. I have played with it a couple of days now. I started with a factory reset and created all the profiles from scratch. There was a lot of fumbling around, but now it mostly works. On occasion, when I go to my 40 SSB profile, the SSB mic profile comes up with MIC. I use a USB microphone and never have set a mic profile (or any other profile) with MIC selected. On FT8 profiles, the receive DAX always comes up with "None". However, it's an annoyance I can live with.0
