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. + +## Configuration ## + + * **Frequency** - sets the tuned frequency + * **Config Tab** - controls for changing tuner configuration + * **Info Tab** - displays information about the tuner + +### Configuration Tab ### + + * **Configuration Selection List** - selects a named configuration to use.

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.
