Firewall Question: 6 listings of SmartSDR v1.2.1

On my HamRadio 'ONLY' computer, when checking something else, I found 6 (SIX) listings for: FlexRadio Systems SmartSDR v1.2.1. Is this normal? Pretty sure I only installed it ONCE.
All 6 are enabled for both Home/Work (Private) AND ALSO for Public.

    This is normal.  Windows has 3 different Firewall profiles and SmartSDR has two (2) firewall rules for each instance of the application (one for UDP and one for TCP).

    And following up Tim, I have listings for:
    4 listings for
     FlexRadio Systems SmartSDR v1.21
    and 4 listings for
     FlexRadio Systems SmartSDR v1.217

    Should I? or CanI? delete the v1.21 listings (leaving the newer version?
    or should I leave well enough alone?

    Times like these, I've always found that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it until it is" are pretty good words to live by.  :)

    In general, I do not advocate messing with the Windows Firewall.  The extra entries should have been removed when you uninstalled SmartSDR v1.2.1, but the uninstaller relies on Windows scripting and that isn't always 100% reliable.  They will not hut any thing by being in the firewall rule set.

    makes sense. I have a neatness issue, I 'suspected' that that was the result of previous upgrades.
    I've been having a wee bit of trouble keeping PSDR tracking WSJT-x and thought a house cleaning may have been in order.

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.
