FlexRadio Systems announces the immediate availability of SmartSDR v1.9.13 for the FLEX-6000 Signature Series SDRs.  SmartSDR v1.9.13 is a maintenance release containing new features and fixes for previously identified software defects. The SmartSDR 1.9.13 release contains new software for SmartSDR for Windows, SmartSDR for Maestro, SmartSDR CAT and DAX.  SmartSDR for Windows, which includes SmartSDR CAT and DAX can be downloaded from the FlexRadio Systems web site. Please download and review the SmartSDR v1.9.13 Release Notes prior to installing SmartSDR v1.9.13 to ensure an optimal software installation experience.

Note that due to an issue discovered in SmartSDR for Maestro v1.9.7 and v1.9.9 software releases that is now corrected in this software release, both v1.9.7 and v1.9.9 will be automatically removed from the download server for Maestro.  Both of these releases could cause a Maestro to become non-responsive following some power events.  In total, we have seen only seven units that have experienced this problem, but because each required a return to FlexRadio Systems service department, we have removed these releases from circulation.

The following highlights are SmartSDR for Windows specific features:

N1MM+ F-Key Stacking Bug Corrected:  When using N1MM+, pressing F key macros repeatedly (command stacking) did not send the correct CW.  This issue has been fixed. (Defect #3942)

VOX Fixes: Fixed intermittent VOX keying issues (Defect #4024).

DAX TX Improvement:  A defect that would result is packet loss when the TX and MIC streams were enabled simultaneously has been corrected. (Defects #3945).

Radios Would Fail to Connect if Used on Public IP Network Address Space:  A security feature added to SmartSDR v1.9.7 prevents radio clients from connecting to the FLEX-6000 if both were using public IP address space to prevent unauthorized access to the radio.  An option has been added to relax this restriction if the radio and client are on a public, routable IP network.  Please see the Requirements and Best Practices for Installing SmartSDR for Windows 1.9.13 in the SmartSDR v1.9.13 Release Notes for more details. (Feature #3996).
