Where Does SDRSharp Store Config and Frequencies?
SDRSharp is portable: settings, frequency lists, and plugins sit beside the exe in its own folder, with nothing in AppData.
Last updated
SDRSharp ignores the usual Windows conventions. The program is portable, so configuration files, band plans, frequency lists, and plugins all live in the folder you unzipped it to. There is no AppData tree and no registry state worth copying.
That portability is the backup plan. The folder is the install and the data at once. Confirm exact filenames on your build, since plugin packs rename things between releases. Keep a zip of the working folder before updating, because new builds sometimes reset configs.
Where SDRSharp stores this, by platform
<SDRSharpFolder>\SDRSharp.exe.Config
Config, frequencies, and plugins beside the executable. The folder location is wherever you unzipped it, so check your SDR directory. Close the app before copying or editing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move SDRSharp to a new PC?
Copy the whole SDRSharp folder to the new machine. Every setting, frequency list, and plugin travels inside it. Install the SDR driver separately on the new PC before launching.
Where is the SDRSharp frequency list?
In the install folder beside the exe, where the frequency manager keeps its XML. Back up that file before editing. A corrupt list just needs the backup restored with the app closed.
