    Craig...Got it, I wasn't sure what the OP was running!

    In any case I just searched for "lock" and after wading through all the words that contain the same letters I did find the correct page.

    Section 41.6.5, page 181 of the SmartSDR Software User Guide. It is a padlock symbol on the slice flag (where frequency, mode, etc. is displayed. Click to lock tuning - the lock changing to blue indicates locked.

    I see it in section 39.6.5 on Page 175.

    Perhaps different versions of the User Guide???

    This is true for the version 2 SmartSDR manual. My radio is on version 3 and I was referring to the version 3 SmartSDR Software User Guide.

    That is one reason why I do not trust you tube videos. We had a guy doing a setup for WSJT-X with a different brand of radio. But the instructions were outdated because the newer firmware changed up procedures. If I make a show and tell video about a radio I mention make model and firmware revision.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
