What I like:
Smartlink - it's not perfect, but it's there and it's not complicated to use. Great for guest access.
Visual enhancements - panadapter fills, pop out windows, etc
Spectrum display support in N1MM+
Some other improvements we are testing for the next version that I can't talk about yet (yes, it's GOOD stuff that you all will get to enjoy soon).
Also it supports a great company and helps them produce and improve on a great radio platform. 100% made in USA in Austin, TX.
Version 1 basically has the same functionality as Version 2. Version 2 allows you to operate your radio over a WAN where in version 1 you can only operate your radio on a LAN. However if you know how to set up a VPN, you can also operate version 1 over a WAN.

Oh, did I mention that I am a native Texan? My native Illnois wife who was raised in New Jersey forgives me.

1) Remote. I'm not Howard but I do like to run CW remote a lot and it works extremely well. Yes I can do the same with VPN but it is just simple to run SmartSDR on my office computer, put on the headset and run some CW.
2) Pop out windows. I do like being able to pop some stuff out. In particular the CWX window. When oping remote CW sometimes its on a smaller screen so having the ability to pop out the CWX window is nice.
3) Filled signals on pan. This to me makes great sense. I just wish it was done in SmartSDR like it is in iOS Smart SDR where the colors are heat mapped so the stronger the signal the more red it gets.
