Thanks Gisle, but that is what I tried and it doesn’t work here.

When I drag the DSP window to where I want it and all the arrowed windows appear it allows me to drop it in the correct place, but the whole receive window does not shift and the DSP just sits atop the left-hand edge of the rx window.

The problem is that the DSP has become a floating window (again) and when asking it (very nicely) to become a docked window it pops back over to the right-hand side.

 

 

No matter what I do it seems only to want to dock only to the right-hand side.

It didn’t think it was a bug but merely a simple user error made by a simple user.

 

FWIW The mouse is setup for use left-handed.

For other amusement I have written PTO on both sides at the bottom of a blank piece of A4 paper.

Just click and drag the windows from the right to the left.

Mind you, it's a docking window, so it won't dock were you want until the dark-blue hint-area shows up.

Three helpful pictures are attached. They show how it works.

I assume you have read this about positioning panels/windows?

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

I don't often need to use a Receiver pane as the main waterfall window serves my purpose, but to try and simulate your issue I did enable one RX Pane. Note that when you "left click and drag" the title bar of a pane, not only do you see the large "arrows diamond" cross graphic near the centre of the SDRC window to drop the pane onto in the required arrow position, if you look right at the edges of the screen you will see there are arrows there too. It's sometimes possible to end up with the RX pane all across the bottom of the screen and this can give the impression that it's overlapping the DSP (actually it's not). So either click/drag the DSP title bar to the arrow on to the far left of the screen to make it full height, or click/drag the title bar of the RX window to the bottom of the centre large crosses to place it where I think you want it, i.e. centre bottom.

Anyway, have a read of that section I linked if you did not already. Other than this I'm finding it hard to visualise the exact issue you are having but I find SDRC pane positioning entirely predictable on my setup.

Just to recap, if you left-click (and hold) and drag the title bar of any SDRC pane and place it over one of the large on-screen arrows, then that pane automatically switches to "docked" mode in the required position. If you don't release over one of the big on-screen arrows, then that pane then becomes floating.

Hope it helps?

Thanks Max,

I have tried all of that and am left with a floating panel.

As soon as I click to dock it the panel flies back to the RHS and docks.

 

For now I will leave it as it is as I don’t have time/can’t be bothered at this stage chasing the issue down

I tried that. I move the DSP window according and it remains floating. I select “docking” and it flies back to where I started.

I’m still in the school of thinking I am doing something wrong.

 

I’m in the middle of mounting my 3.4GHz feed and pre-amp on the dish and as there are no drag and drop Windows features I need to measure twice, tighten and measure again….and eventually start again. A spotting laser helps no end.

 

I’ll return to the Windows receiver issues next week once I am done fitting the hardware to the mast

 

Thanks all.

Did you see my post with the pictures? (Or did they not make it?)

This is a very standard Windows GUI metaphor. It's best to learn how to do it.
