SmartSDR Version 2.5 Change Log and Release Notes Update?

Well, I’d say your guess is wrong since alpha testers are still testing that version in the release notes so there really isn’t anything new to report.

Thanks for your input Ria.  I appreciate all feedback.  73

Does that imply that we will have to pay for the survey fixes ( ie upgrade to v3) or that FRS hasn't started  the survey fixes yet ?  I'll patiently wait for those.

@ Cal - Rather expect  FRS will have a formal announcement.  If anything changes an update would be expected.  

@ Bill - There is no implication of anything like what you are worried about.  Whatever you are worried about exists just in your own mind.

Things are solid if a FRS post lays it out. They are (much) less certain outside of FRS statements. Those most in the know cannot quickly speak to speculative community questions, as they will defer to FRS. Well meaning folk often jump in with replies that are conjecture. Those unofficial replies often take on a life of their own leading people to further speculation and incorrect expectations. The very hands off moderation style of FRS with the peculiarities of the forum engine, especially when dates and details are inconsistent make the community collective a bit of a mess. The usual FRS has been releasing documentation a bit ahead of the new version. As an Alpha team member I don’t have any insider’s information to share, other than the obvious that as of May 31st the new versions are not GA (General Availability) yet. FRS will announce them when they are ready. The community main page is a great place to watch. Personally I’m thinking version 2.5 is a gift from FRS with apparently a lot of v3.0 code being incorporated. FRS has spoken a bit more clearly about this unexpected bonus for v2.x users. Behind the scenes the Alpha Team members have been working very **** testing the latest software. That group has some real hardcore technical people truly help FRS forge a new version that works for all of us. For those of you who’ve been with the Flex-6000 series since the Pre-release SmartSDR v0.x stop and think of ANY of the other radios you have ever had “grew” in capabilities like your Flex? I don’t think we are anywhere near done yet - if you have good visionary skills you must share my personal excitement where the underlying technologies of v3.x might take us. 73 Steve K9ZW
