    Yes you can, but you can't do much with it until your 6x00 rig arrives. It isn't like PowerSDR that has a "Demo" mode. Since all the processing is in the radio, you can't "test it out" without the radio. It only takes about 20-30 minutes to get it going once the rig arrives. But in the mean time, if you install the software early, you can begin planning which virtual serial ports you want SmartSDR CAT to assign, how you want to set up DDUtil, and you can read the manuals and installation guides. Time well spent!

    Ken's answer is okay. However, if you only have the radio and no amplifier or other devices; there is no need for DDUtil or Virtual com port. SmartCAT will handle the com ports etc...

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
