Problem Being Solved

During active operating — especially on a busy band or during a contest — RF Gain and
AGC Threshold are adjusted constantly to manage noise floor, strong adjacent signals,
and propagation changes. Currently there is no way to bind these to keyboard shortcuts , forcing mouse interaction at exactly the wrong moment.

Proposed Enhancement

Add four new assignable actions to Configure Shortcuts:

| Action Label | SmartSDR API Command Scope
|-------------------|------------------------------------------|--------------------------|
| RF Gain Up | RFGAIN UP to increase gain | Applies to all slices |
| RF Gain Down | RFGAIN DOWN to decrease gain | Applies to all slices |
| AGC-T Up | AGCLEVEL Up to increase level | Applies to active slice |
| AGC-T Down | AGCLEVEL Down to decrease level | Applies to active slice |

• Actions should be configurable to key strokes, ie, F1-F4.
• Pressing the keys mapped to RFGAIN UP or RFGAIN DOWN should increment or decrement the RFGain from its current setting to 8db at a time, with a clamp on the RF Gain Control range (-8db to max of +32db)
• AGC-T is distinct from AGC Mode — Pressing the keys mapped to agc_threshold should increment the agc-t value in increments of 5 units , up or down with a clamp on the the agc threshold range <0-100>

SmartSDR Reference

Raw SmartSDR TCP API (best for command syntax)

• display pan page (RF Gain + rfgain_info): TCPIP-display-pan
• slice page (AGC threshold + active): TCPIP-slice

FlexLib object API (best for .NET property names)

• Panadapter (RFGain, RXAnt, GetRFGainInfo): FlexLib Panadapter class
• Slice (AGCThreshold, Active, AGCMode): FlexLib Slice class

Environment

• AetherSDR version: 0.8.20
• Radio: [your model] / SmartSDR [your firmware]
• OS: [your OS]
