VFO Lock Button Switch

Hi is there a VFO lock switch or button on the control panel of the Flex smart SDR ?

Yes, there is a Lock icon, it looks like a lock.

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.

Ok I found it but it was not on the menu I was looking at.

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 But the instructions were outdated because the newer firmware changed up procedures.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.
