I think you can use single install folder, and create two shortcut links to the exe. As a command line parameter you would then use :

Code: Select all

-datapath:<some_path_here>


and for each shortcut set a different datapath. Honestly, I have not tried it, but -datapath: is handled in the code by the looks of it.

Hi Ben,
it works definitely. You must have made a mistake somewhere.
In my case the shortcut target field looks like this.

Code: Select all

"D:\HAM Radio\SDR\OpenHPSDR\PowerSDR mRX PS 3.4.9\PowerSDR.exe" -datapath:"%appdata%\FlexRadio Systems\HF"

and

Code: Select all

"D:\HAM Radio\SDR\OpenHPSDR\PowerSDR mRX PS 3.4.9\PowerSDR.exe" -datapath:"%appdata%\FlexRadio Systems\VHF"


If the target folder /VHF or HF) does not exist, you will get a warning like this.

If you did everything right, you will end up like this.

folder1.PNG
folder1.PNG (17.32 KiB) Viewed 5799 times


folder2.PNG
folder2.PNG (9.44 KiB) Viewed 5799 times


In each new folder you will find a wisdom and database file.

You can save the time to create the wisdom file by creating the directories (VHF and HF) beforehand,
copying the corresponding VHF / HF database and wisdom file from your initial PowerSDR mrx PS folder there.
Now you create the shortcuts with the different targets as described above.
Now you are ready to go.
