Can I upgrade when operating remote with Smartlink?

I see the update to 3.0.19 has come out today.  I am on a trip and operating remote with my Maestro and using Smartlink.  Can I update when remote or should I wait until back at home to do this?  My radio is a 6500.

    Gene,

    IF YOU HAVE VPN access to your radio you can upgrade remotely. Or if you have a PC running in your house/shack you can TeamViewer in and upgrade that way. Otherwise, you'll have to wait.

    AND -- if you have some way of turning on and off both the Flex and power supply. Those rerstarts are very important steps!

    The answer is no as you have heard.

    That being said, doing it remotely and without a Plan B, is not a good idea.  :)

    The DC power cycle is optional and I think I have only done 1 in a few years as an alpha tester.   And, that is a LOT of version changes.

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.
