One of the much loved features of SDRuno is its memory banks which can store interesting frequency and settings both for easy access or scanning purposes.  They can be populated manually, or as ready-made imported files or generated automatically using SDRuno’s built in scanning feature.   As well as storing the frequency information and demodulation mode, they can also automatically select which antenna port should be used (e.g. when using an RSPdx, RSP2, RSP2pro or RSPduo which have multiple antenna ports)

Adding and manipulating memory entries can take a bit of of learning and so Mike KD2KOG has put together this new “Ham Guides” video to run through how all this works, including some neat tips on editing existing files for your exact set-up – he has also updated links to his extensive ready-made files and shows how to access them: https://youtu.be/e8nX_m2mkSI

In the video, Mike answers questions like:

Where can I download the SDRuno memory bank files?

How do I install the memory bank files?

How do I edit the input used in these SDRuno memory bank files?

Full instructions on the memory panel can be found in the SDRuno manual (on page 68  of the current version): https://www.sdrplay.com/docs/SDRplay_SDRuno_User_Manual.pdf
