Pluto 2nd RX / TX Channels

The Pluto+, LibreSDR and Adalm-Pluto Rev C or D both come two RX and TX channels. It is really nice to connect RX1/TX1 to your QO-100 setup and RX2/TX2 to your other setup. It makes life so easy without having to fiddle with SMA connectors every time you want to play radio and swop between applications.

I have searched the web up and down looking for info on how to switch SDR Console between RX1/TX1 and RX2/TX2. All the info I could find was that it is hidden in the background somewhere in SDR Console already, I looked and could not find it. I do not want to run both pairs of ports simultaneously; I just want to select pair 1 or 2 at any given time.

Any idea on how to get SDR Console to switch between ports either at startup or when working would be highly appreciated please?

I believe this is something on Simon's todo list.

Have a look at the notes for Pluto implementation here, specifically the "Antennas" heading:

https://www.sdr-radio.com/implementation

As Joanne says, I believe this is not currently possible but to be added hopefully.
