SDR# Aux VFO Plugin

[w4rez]

How do I get more than one Aux VFO plugin to show up in my plugins list? I am using the "Community Installer" for SDR# which, of course, downloads a bunch of plugins for me, including the Aux VFO plugin. One instance of it shows up in my plugins list but that's all. my plugins.xml file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<sharpPlugins>

<add key="AuxVFO-1" value="SDRSharp.AuxVFO.AuxVFOPlugin,SDRSharp.AuxVFO" />
<add key="AuxVFO-2" value="SDRSharp.AuxVFO.AuxVFOPlugin,SDRSharp.AuxVFO" />
<add key="AuxVFO-3" value="SDRSharp.AuxVFO.AuxVFOPlugin,SDRSharp.AuxVFO" />  
<add key="AuxVFO-4" value="SDRSharp.AuxVFO.AuxVFOPlugin,SDRSharp.AuxVFO" />
<add key="AuxVFO-5" value="SDRSharp.AuxVFO.AuxVFOPlugin,SDRSharp.AuxVFO" />
<add key="AuxVFO-6" value="SDRSharp.AuxVFO.AuxVFOPlugin,SDRSharp.AuxVFO" />  
<add key="AuxVFO-7" value="SDRSharp.AuxVFO.AuxVFOPlugin,SDRSharp.AuxVFO" />
<add key="AuxVFO-8" value="SDRSharp.AuxVFO.AuxVFOPlugin,SDRSharp.AuxVFO" />

</sharpPlugins>

The XML file needs to be in the same directory as sdrsharp.exe, right?

I tried three entries in my plugins.xml file in the same directory as SDRSharp.AuxVFO.dll and SDRSharp v1807 and it worked. Three show up in the plugins menu and I was able to bring up each of them (though I didn't try to actually use them – dongle isn't with me at the moment). The DLL is timestamped 2021-02-28 (possibly the date I downloaded it), is version 1.0.0.0, and is 60,928 bytes.

Yes moving 'SDRSharp.AuxVFO.dll' from the Plugins folder to the root SDR# folder (where SDRSharp.exe is) will make all the defined AUXVFOs show up.

If using the newer SDR#, you should consider using the built in slices feature which is basically the same as AUXVFO.
I find it just uses a lot more resources and takes up more screen area though.

That did the trick. Thanks!
