After  updating my  6600M and Windows software to 2.5.1, I found that WSJT would key the radio but would never unkey.  I then tried to downgrade to 2.4.9 on the radio and now it will not boot at all.  Even after the second factory reset.  The radio is now DEAD!  Ticket started.

    Remove the DC power. Wait one minute and try again. That should restore things to operation.

    It is actually four different screens if you count the logo page (four slashes).

    Could anyone with 6600M or 6400M verify if radio information tab in setting shows 6600M in model info? I do not remember what was shown before but now it displays 6600 without M.

    You'd think that would be accomplished with firmware independent of the resident version of SSDR

    Thank you, Paul !
    I actually meant similar tab from SmartSDR since my front panel is not working but the info should be exactly the same. My radio now thinks that it is 6600 model:

    I hope you don't mind that I changed the story line to a bit less foreboding.  :)

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.
