SmartSDR v3.0.27 Radio Setup Issue on first use of 6700

I’ll take a stab at describing to you what is happening. When you start up SSDR, it has an option to also (auto) start up your DAX and CAT applications. The default appears to be to start them up, so you will see three windows, You can go to settings for SSDR and turn off auto start if you wish, If there is no GUI connected to the radio, the DAX and CAT applications cannot really do anything - there is no active slice for them to talk to. What you need to do is choose your radio in SSDR, and connect to it. Then you can start a panadapter and one or more slices, When DAX (and/or DAX Tx) are turned on for a slice, you can then connect CAT and DAX to them. Hope that makes sense.

I like what you said Ted but his best bet at this point is to forget about Cat and Dax this as you know is not needed to get his radio setup. Then after if needed for 3rd party programs he can bring these to the table so to speak.

I only operate digital, so I guess I’m stuck in the “need that” groove :-) And I also really prefer never to have CAT and DAX start with a system boot - bad idea, and invites broken sound drivers. Start both when you need them, **** them when you are done.

Thanks!  Turning off auto start on CAT and DAX worked and I now have the SmartSDR console displayed.
