6.3 Softpot
The alignment screens introduce the concept of the “softpot,” an analog SOFTware-controlled
POTentiometer used for adjusting all transceiver alignment controls.
Each alignment screen provides the ability to increase or decrease the softpot value by using a
slider, or by entering the new value from the keyboard directly into the box. The slider bar indicates
the current softpot value; see Figure 6-3.
DO NOT switch radios in the middle of any alignment
procedure. Always left-click the Close button on the screen to
return to the Main Menu screen before disconnecting the
radio. Improper exits from the alignment screens might leave
the radio in an improperly configured state and result in
seriously degraded radio or system performance.
