Report preparation

• I used the AI-assisted bug report tool (Help → Support → File an Issue)
• I have attached a support bundle or log file

What happened?

I'm experiencing an issue with AetherSDR, a Linux/macOS/Windows SDR client
for FlexRadio transceivers (https://github.com/ten9876/AetherSDR).

My system:

• AetherSDR version: 0.8.17
• Qt version: 6.11.0
• OS: macOS
• Radio: FLEX-8600 fw 4.1.5.39794

Before writing the bug report, please read the AetherSDR project context at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ten9876/AetherSDR/main/CLAUDE.md
for architecture overview, data flow, protocol details, and known issues.

Based on my description below, write a complete GitHub bug report.
Do NOT ask me follow-up questions — just write the best report you can
from what I've provided. Output it in one response, ready to paste.
Use GitHub-flavored Markdown formatting (headers, code blocks, bullet points).

Developer Notes

(After reviewing the codebase, suggest which source files and functions
are most likely involved, what logging categories to enable in
Help → Support to capture diagnostic data, and any potential root causes
based on the code architecture. Reference specific file paths and line
numbers where possible.)

Here is my issue:
