SmartSDR Radio Setup ATU Options

Roger Sjölin

I have installed an ATU in my Flex 6300. I have followed the instructions downloaded yesterday.
It stated that after installation the Radio setup screen Tab Radio should  show option ATU.
But its not so. I have to connect first then it show up. And the ATU works fine.

Do I have to do a factory reset to get the Radio Setup screen to show that the ATU is installed?
or is the instruction wrong?

Until you have connected, SmartSDR will not know that you have the ATU installed. If you then go back into the radio setup screen, does it show that the ATU is installed?

SmartSDR users need to realize that SmartSDR is a client program, with the radio being a server.  The intelligence and settings of the radio are within the radio server box itself.  Therefore, as Phil stated above, until the client SmartSDR program connects and communicates with the radio (server), it doesn't know much and in fact can't function until that connection is made.  Realizing this will save many a user headaches trying to figure out why something is amiss.
