Setting power in TX Band Settings

in SmartSDR for Windows

This seems like a peculiar problem. I was trying to increase the TX Panel's RF Power value. No matter what I did, the slider snapped back to 10 watts. I went to the TX Band Settings and found the value was set at 11 watts. I changed it to 100 watts. When I attempted to increase output power again, it snapped back to 10 watts - AGAIN. In the TX Band Settings, the maximum output value had reverted to 11 watts. With the TX Band Settings dialog open, I tried to increase the TX Panel's RF Power setting. The Maximum power value was reset to 11 watts. What am I missing?

    Hi Doug, it is likely the Max Power setting on the TX tab in Radio Setup:

    That was it. I changed it, then attempted to increase the power, and the value snapped back to 10%. The second time I changed it, it stuck. Oddly, I never changed this value. I wasn't even aware of it. Before upgrading to 4.0.1, I had no trouble changing the power. Somehow in the update this value had been changed.

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.
