Waterfall resets when changing modes

Hi Alan,

I have been using SparkSDR v2.0.33 on my Windows 10 PC and with my SDRPlay RSP1A receiver. It has been working fine, but there is something that really bothers me.
Let's say I am listening to a ham station in USB, I have my waterfall zoom adjusted to the zoom level I want. If I change modes, the zoom level is reset. Then I have to zoom into the signal again
Is there a way to fix that?

Thanks,

Hi Luis,

what version are you using? Recent versions store settings per mode so it should learn your preferences. The reason for the zoom changing is modes like wspr obviously need different settings to usb.

Hi Alan
I am using SparkSDR v2.0.33 I believe it is the most recent.
In regards to the zoom changing, I understand that modes like WSPR and FT8, etc do look better when zoomed in. Maybe you should change the zoom only when one of those modes are selected, but when USB, LSB, AM, FM are selected, you should keep the zoom untouched.

Thanks
