Today I received my 6500 and Ive installed v1.6.17.  In the SmartSDR CAT box I see "error" displayed. I don't see Com4 on my computer anywhere just Com1. Do I need to remove com4 and reinstall? I hate to remove anything for fear it will disappear forever.

    As an added question if I try to add a com port should I see a selection to choose from? When I try to add I only see Com 4 as a choice.

    Well it doesn't seem I am able to create com ports. I'm not sure what to do.

    The error I get is "The Virtual Serial Port (VSP) failed to create. Double check the serial port settings.

    Mike,
    You might want to take a look at this post.  I discovered an old version of FlexVSP was causing a similar problem.  I detailed my solution down in the thread.

    Yep thought all that had been removed. Now things are working as I would expect.

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.
