database.xml files:

5. Follow the prompts to start reconfiguration of P*SDR for your radio.
6. Manually modify settings to your preferred configuration.
7. On the Setup form, click on the "Export Database" to save the new settings to disk for later recall.

If resetting Database.xml did not resolve your issues:

1. Shut down P*SDR.
2. Use windows explorer to navigate to your current P*SDR folder.
