Arthur, Your method will work. However, since it transfers EVERYTHING, including those settings which should not be transferred, you will have to set up each of your database files separately any time you upgrade PowerSDR to a new version.
A better solution is to create a database for each different digital mode program as well as a database for operating other modes (CW,SSB, etc.), all stored in the same directory but with different names. For example -- database_nondigital.xml, database_fldigi.xml, database_mixw.xml, etc. Then use the SDRDataTransfer utility to copy your settings into the working database. This way, you only have to create 1 new database when you change PowerSDR versions. SDRDataTransfer will only transfer your custom settings, leaving the settings specific to a particular radio and/or software version intact. SDRDataTransfer is free & is available for download from my website. DDUtil manages multiple serial ports, but if you have other settings that vary between digital-mode programs, such as filter or TX Profile settings, they will still be the same for all digital-mode programs. There is a new feature coming with the release of PowerSDR v2.0 (It is available now in the PB-PAL test version.) that will allow you to specify which database to use with a command-line parameter. This means that all you will have to do is create different shortcuts to PowerSDR for each digital-mode program. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
