Where Does SDRangel Store Presets?
SDRangel keeps device presets, channel settings and workspaces in a config tree on Linux. Path and what to back up.
Last updated
SDRangel centers on a config tree holding device presets, channel settings and workspace layouts. Captures and recordings land in working folders outside it. The two sides serve different masters.
That split keeps settings portable across machines with matching hardware. Copy the tree with the app quit and the stacks return. Recordings stay behind by design, since they dwarf the config.
Where SDRangel stores this, by platform
~/.config/sdrangel
Device presets, channel settings and workspace layouts. Back up with SDRangel quit. Captures live outside this tree in working folders, so include those separately for full moves.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up SDRangel?
Copy the sdrangel config tree with SDRangel quit, especially presets and workspace files. Device choices, channel stacks and spectrum settings travel together. Calibrations need rechecking on new hardware even after a faithful copy.
Where are my device presets?
In preset files inside the config tree, one per device and band plan. Loading a preset rebuilds the whole receive chain. Keep one preset per antenna setup with names matching the hardware.
