== Using Commander's Memories ==

Commander provides 10 memory banks. Each memory bank contains 10 memories. Each memory specifies

 * a frequency

 * a mode

 * a filter group (not available for all radio models)

 * notes

=== Viewing Memories ===

The '''Memories''' panel is displayed on the right side of Commander's Main window; it is labeled with the title of the currently-selected Memory Bank. If this panel is not visible, click the '''Memory Banks''' button.

The '''Memories''' panel displays 10 Memory Bank selection buttons labeled '''B1''' through '''B10''' across the top. The frequency, mode, and receiver bandwidth contained in each of the currently-selected Memory Bank's 10 memories are displayed below the Memory Bank selection buttons, one memory per row. To view each memory's notes, click the '''~''' button in the upper-right corner of the '''Memories''' panel; click the '''~''' button again to return to a view of each memories frequency, mode, and receiver bandwidth contents.

=== Selecting a Memory Bank ===

To select a Memory Bank, click its Memory Bank selection button; the contents of the selection bank's 10 memories will be displayed below. To view a Memory Bank's title, allow the mouse cursor to hover over its selection button for a second or two; a popup bearing the title will appear.

=== Setting the transceiver frequency, mode, and receiver bandwidth from a memory ===

Clicking a memory's '''Sel''' button sets the transceiver's frequency, mode and receiver bandwidth from the values contained in the memory contents.

=== Setting a memory's transceiver frequency, mode, and receiver bandwidth from the current transceiver settings ===

Clicking a memory's '''Save''' button sets memory's frequency, mode and receiver bandwidth from the current transceiver settings.

=== Clearing Memories ===

Clicking a memory's '''Save''' button while depressing the '''CTRL''' key clears that memory's frequency, mode, and transceiver bandwidth. Clicking the '''Clear Memories''' button on the Configuration window's Memories tab clears all memories in the currently-selected memory bank.

=== Directly Modifying a Memory ===

You can directly edit a memory's frequency and notes by typing characters into textbox that contains them. You can select a different mode or receiver bandwidth by clicking the respective selector's downward-facing arrow and choosing the desired value from the dropdown list.

=== Titling Memory Banks ===

Clicking a Memory Bank selection button while depressing the '''CTRL''' key displays the Configuration window's Memories tab, which enables you to specify the title of each Memory Bank.

=== Saving and Restoring Memories To and From a File ===

Clicking the '''Export Memories''' button on the Configuration window's Memories tab prompts you to select a file into which the contents of all memories (in all Memory Banks) will be saved.

Clicking the '''Import Memories''' button on the Configuration window's Memories tab prompts you to select a file whose contents will be loaded into Commander's Memory Banks, overwriting their current contents.

=== Scanning Memories ===

To continuously scan valid memories in the current bank, check the '''Scan''' box on the Main window. With memory scanning enabled, Commander will sequentially activate each of the current bank's memories that contain a valid frequency and mode, skipping memories not containing a valid frequency or mode. The time between activations is defined by the [[https://www.dxlabsuite.com/commander/Help/Configuration.htm#Scan%20Dwell|Scan Dwell]] setting. If none of the current bank's memories are valid, Commander will uncheck the '''Scan box''' and stop scanning. While scanning, the following actions will uncheck the '''Scan''' box and stop scanning:

 * clicking in the '''Bandspread''' window's frequency dial

 * double-clicking the '''Bandspread''' window's '''!SpotCollector''' Alert indicator

 * receipt of a QSY directive from another application
