Issue: I’m experiencing an issue with profile antenna settings not being retained in ASDR.
I have four antennas configured. When I load a saved profile, change the antenna, and then save the profile via Profiles → Profile Manager, the save operation appears to complete successfully.
However, when I switch to a different profile and then return to the previously saved one, the antenna briefly shows the correct selection for about half a second, then reverts to the bottom antenna.
For example, I attempted to save the profile with the antenna set to Loop500, but each time I reload that profile, it falls back to Loop300. I have also deleted and recreated the profile, but the issue persists.
In contrast, when I perform the same steps using SmartSDR (Windows), the antenna setting saves and recalls correctly across profiles. The problem only occurs when using ASDR, where the antenna consistently reverts.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure through Profiles → Profile Manager in ASDR with the supplied support bundle and four configured antennas. Compare profile save and recall behavior with the working SmartSDR path, focusing on why the selected antenna briefly appears and then changes to the bottom antenna. Done means the saved antenna remains selected after switching away from and back to the profile.
