Everytime I open SDR Sharp, there's this blank right pane with two buttons at the bottom that keep showing. I can't see what the buttons are and even when I drag the scopes all the way to the right to make it go away, the right pain comes back again after closing and re-opening the program.

Same problem with the box on the lower left. You can left-click on it and choose close to remove it, but it keeps coming back. Is there any way to permanently close both of these? Thanks.

It's part of the Frequency Manager Suite of tools. To disable that feature, do this:

- click the Frequency Manager+Scanner section to expand it
- click Tools and then Edit Preferences...
- click the Scan Rules tab at the top
- in the middle it says Show Scanner Decisions, uncheck the box, voila, no more right side usage

Ya gotta play with some of this stuff to learn things, asking questions is nice and dandy sometimes but, hands on, twisting the knobs and flipping the switches (figuratively speaking), kicking the tires, etc, that's where the real learning happens. ;)

There are a LOT of potential features of the plugins that most people never delve into, they still want a point and click easy way of doing things like with a physical scanner which does most of the "background" work for the user but SDR stuff is vastly different so it's a learning process, obviously.

The particular color scheme you have in place seems very very dark so it could be the reason the button text doesn't show up like it should - the left one should say Erase and the right one says Copy; when the Scanner plugin is put to use it will show you how the logic is being applied for jumping frequencies, a pretty cool feature but not particularly useful for most people I suppose. That actually looks just the way SDR# looks for me when I'm running it in Linux, which you very well might be doing, I don't know but, that's how the frequency numbers look when I use SDR# in Linux: blurry and pixelated.

Yeah, lots of learning. Thanks for the post. This is on a Windows 7 machine.

If you use the Frequency Manager Suite, and don't want to delete the side bar, just right click the area and a "close" icon will popup. The next time you restart SDR#, you'll have to do this again.
The same applies to the lower panel with the Desc, Callsign, info.

I deleted mine as br0adband described.
