SDR 2.4.9 ....your experience so far

Hello to all Dear Friends

Long time without upload a post; not even much radio, my 6600 has been off during many weeks.

Around a month ago I was notified about new SDR version 2.4.9.....some e-mails notification from this community have arrived to my inbox, some of them complaining about this new version.

I confess I have not installed yet

What's your experience with SDR 2.4.9 so far?

Thank you so much for your opinion

George, YV5WZ / PY3ZZZ

    Hello Ernest

    Finally I finished installation
    Cant say it was "smooth" installation

    I had to downgrade, perform a hard reset (white light) Twice

    Flex back to life with previous version, and after checked all was good,  got back to upgrade....

    purple light came again and not flex connection was possible, instead of software showed my flex was connected

    Powered off all (pc included) for  2-3 minutes, re-started PC, flex 6600 and SmartSDR......everything went just right,,,,no problem yet

    I did two contacts on FT8 (40-20 mts)

    looks good so far, haven't try SSB cause I'm cold with sore throat, guess I will do on week end

    Ernest Thanks for your words and advises
