Overview
CW Profiles add a dedicated profile type for CW operating settings, joining the existing Global, Transmit, and Microphone profiles. CW profiles behave like Transmit and Microphone profiles, but apply to CW-related settings such as keyer speed, sidetone, and CWX macros.
Managing CW Profiles in SmartSDR for Windows
| To… | Do this |
|---|---|
| Create a CW profile | Navigate Profiles > Create CW Profile. |
| Load, reset, or delete a CW profile | Navigate to Profiles > Profile Manager and select the CW tab. |
| Quickly switch CW profiles | Use the drop-down menu in the TX panel’s P/CW tile. |
| Control whether CW profile settings save automatically | Navigate to Profiles > Profile Manager and select the Auto-Save tab. |
| Import or export CW profiles | Navigate to Profiles > Import/Export Profiles. |
Note: There is no separate save operation for an existing CW profile. To update a profile, use the save icon, which re-creates the profile under the same name.
Managing CW Profiles in Maestro and M-Models
You can access CW profiles from either of two places:
- Menu > Profiles > CW — works like the Profile Manager in SmartSDR for Windows (create, load, reset, delete).
- TX menu (while the TX-enabled Slice is in CW mode) — the drop-down works like the one in the SmartSDR for Windows TX panel P/CW tile, for quick switching.
To control automatic saving, use Menu > Profiles > Auto-Save. (In SmartSDR for Windows, the same setting is a tab inside the Profile Manager.)
What Parameters Are Stored in CW Profiles?
| CW Keyer Settings | Sidetone Settings | CWX Software Keyer Settings |
|---|---|---|
| CW Pitch | Sidetone Enabled | QSK |
| CW Keyer Speed | Sidetone Level | CWX Speed (WPM) |
