Each Transmit profile saves a set of power settings, one setting for each band. To save power settings
for each band, select the Transmit profile from the drop-down menu, then tune to each band and
adjust the power settings. As the adjustments are made, an asterisk should appear before the
Transmit profile name in the drop-down menu, indicating that the Transmit profile has been
modified. When all bands of interest have been set, save the modified Transmit profile using the
Profile Manager.
NOTE: If a Transmit profile is modified, the change will affect all Global profiles with which the
Transmit profile is associated.
16.3 GLOBAL PROFILES
Global profiles manage the state of panadapters and slice receivers and the layout of these
components on the SmartSDR display. Panadapter settings saved in Global profiles include the
number and location of panadapters on the SmartSDR display, frequency ranges, bandwidth and
scaling and display parameters. Slice Receiver parameters include the frequency, mode, MIC profile,
RX and TX filter settings, DAX channel, audio gain and many others. See section 17 for details.
In addition, Global profiles also record the linking of each TX Antenna in each slice to a Transmit
profile, and each Slice Receiver’s mode. Invoking a Global profile therefore creates a set of
panadapters and slices, selects a slice to control the transmitter, then invokes the Transmit profile
indicated by the selected TX antenna and the MIC profile. Selection of a different slice to control the
transmitter may change the selected Transmit and MIC profiles. Similarly, changes to the selected
TX antenna or mode within the transmit slice may change the selected Transmit or MIC profiles.
To create or save a Global profile, configure all panadapters and slice receivers to the desired settings.
TX Antennas and modes should be set to the desired values. Each TX Antenna that will be used in
the Global profile should be selected and then linked to a Transmit profile by selecting the profile in
the drop-down menu. Select the mode and MIC profile in each slice receiver. When these
adjustments are complete, save the Global profile using the Profile Manager.
Note that changes made to panadapters and slices are not automatically saved to a loaded Global
profile. Changes to existing Global profiles can only be made by manually re-saving the profile using
the Profile Manager.
