Power Settings with Global Profiles

in SmartSDR for Windows

When you setup global profile, is the power setting selected not saved too? When I change to a different profile, it seems the power setting stays at what I was on prior to changing profiles.

    Correct. And there are different transmit profiles assigned to each mode group.

    This 'draft' document might help. I was just working on it.

    We have a brand new SmartSDR manual (just saying that as I was reviewing it).

    The details are in section 19.

    Power is part of the TX Profile.

    Thanks Mike, I will get this printed off.

    To confirm I understand correctly, when creating a Global profile, the power setting does not save, the power setting only saves when creating a Transmit profile?

    There are a number of 'issues' with that draft. So, I am going to delete it.

    The Global profile loads the associated Transmit profile.

    According to our expert, @David Decoons, wo2x, this is the way:

    How to Build Global Profiles the Right Way

    The best approach is to work from the bottom up, one band at a time. Here’s the method:

    • Step 1 — Start on your lowest band.
      • Configure your Mic Profile for the operating mode you are setting up (SSB, CW, or Digital)
      • Select the correct transmit antenna and configure its Transmit Profile
      • Dial in all your receiver settings: panadapter position, slice frequency, bandwidth, AGC-T, and any DSP settings
      • Save the Global Profile with a meaningful name (e.g. “SSB”)
    • Step 2 — Move up one band.
      • Adjust all your RX settings for that band — frequency, panadapter, AGC-T, filters
      • Save the same Global Profile again — that band’s configuration is added in
    • Step 3 — Repeat for every band you operate.
      • Work up through all your bands, saving the same profile each time
      • Each save adds that band’s receiver configuration to the profile without disturbing the others
    • Step 4 — Repeat the entire process for each operating mode.
      • Build a separate Global Profile for SSB, CW, and Digital
      • Each profile will have its own complete band-by-band RX settings and the correct Mic and Transmit Profile associations for that mode
