Memory channels: build, edit, upload & back up
The ATS Mini stores up to 99 favourite stations, each remembering a frequency, band and mode. The app’s Memory sidebar lets you read them, edit them with validation the radio’s own menu does not offer, write them back safely, and keep a file backup.
Reading what’s on the radio
Open the Memory tab and the app asks the radio for all 99 slots and lists them. Empty slots appear as free positions you can fill.
Editing, adding and deleting
Edit a slot and the app pre-fills it with the radio’s current live frequency, band and mode (the classic "store what I’m listening to" capture) or with the slot’s existing values. Before it accepts a change it checks that the frequency fits the band and the mode is valid, so you cannot stage an impossible entry. You can add a station into any empty slot or clear one you no longer want. Changes are staged with a "modified" marker and a count of unsaved edits, so nothing is written to the radio until you choose to upload.
Slot names (firmware 2.42 and newer)
From official firmware 2.42 each slot can also carry a name of up to 9 characters, which the radio shows in its memory menu and under a matching frequency. The app lists slots by that name, lets you set or change it when you edit a slot, and gives a station saved from the EiBi browser its broadcast name, shortened to fit. Names use plain letters without accents, digits, spaces and basic punctuation, because that is what the radio can display. On older firmware the name field does not appear, and nothing about names is sent to the radio.
Uploading with verification
Upload writes your staged slots back to the radio, then reads them back and compares each one (frequency, band and mode, and the name on firmware 2.42+), reporting how many verified and flagging any that did not match. That read-back check is the difference between hoping the write worked and knowing it did.
Recall: jump to a saved station
Press play on any stored slot and the app tunes the radio to that frequency and restores its saved mode in one step. A memory you saved in USB comes back in USB, not whatever mode you happen to be in.
Back up, restore and share
Save exports all 99 slots to a small file on your computer; Load reads one back in. That is your backup before experimenting, your restore after a firmware reset, and an easy way to share a curated station list with another ATS Mini owner.
