## Tuner Configurations ##
SDRTrunk allows you to define multiple named tuner configurations per tuner
type. A **Default** configuration is automatically created the first time you
use each specific tuner type and will be recreated again if you accidentally
delete or rename the **Default** configuration.
Each time you plug your USB tuner into a new USB port, it will automatically
use the **Default** tuner configuration. If you select a different named
configuration, SDRTrunk will remember to use that named configuration each time
you use the USB tuner in that specific USB port. If you create a named
configuration for your tuner and subsequently move the tuner to a different
USB port, simply select that named configuration from the drop-down list and it
will store that port to named configuration setting.
All changes to a named configuration are automatically saved.

The info tab displays information about the tuner:
* **Serial** - serial number of the Airspy tuner.
## Using the Airspy ##
## Updating Firmware ##
The firmware label shown on the Info tab is the GIT revision label that was
tagged against the software release. SDRTrunk does not support
flashing the Airspy with new firmware. Use the Airspy tools to update the
tuner.
## Using Airspy With Linux ##
If you've never setup your airspy for linux, you'll need to add permissions to allow users to access the airspy:
1. Copy the file **\config\52-airspy.rules** from the sdrtrunk application folder to your **\etc\udev\rules.d** folder. You'll need root permissions to access the rules.d folder.
2. After creating the rules file, either reboot or run the command **udevadm control --reload-rules** as root to instruct udev to reload all rule files.
