    Cold boot the radio.  Power it off, remove the power cord for 15-30 seconds, replace the power cord and power up the radio,  It may take a while to boot as it should finish the firmware upgrade.  Then start SmartSDR after the power LED stays green for a minute or so..

    I checked the code to see what's happening here.  There are actually a number of failure conditions that will produce this message and most have to do with the upgrade data transferred to the radio not passing an integrity check.  I would recommend re-downloading the SmartSDR v1.4 installer and re-installing on the PC.  This will recreate these files.  Then attempt the upgrade again.

    Clearly, the incompatible version dialog is a red herring.
