Smart Control on my 6400M

I am trying to make smart control work on my 6400M. Everytime I bring up Smart Mode, I get a window asking for a station to be online. I do not know what that means or how to fix it. Can you help

    Andy, it is brand new and in the latest v 3 upgrade. Dan at Flex helped me resolve my issue along with Mike Walker. It is a really nice new feature for users of the 6400M.

    Even more useful to owners of 6400 and Maestro. Now we can use the Maestro as a control panel for SmardSDR for Windows. Works perfectly.

    I have been using 3.0.27 for 2 months and now 3.1.7 with DXLabs (Commander, DXKeeper, DXView, Spot Collector and Win Warbler).   I also use WSJT-X modes a lot with DXK, etc.  No issues with SmartSDR.  I rarely use my Maestro.
  • I recently traded-in my 2017 6600 (v2) for a new 6600. I now have the latest version.

    Today I tried SmartControl. It's awesome! Now I can use both SmartSDR and the Maestro knobs on the same slice, on the same controls.

    I turned the 6400m ON and Smart Control is not an option now? It was on Smart Control when I turned it off.

    The screen shows (INFO) (grayed out OPERATE) (DISCONNECT) (grayed out Smartlink Setup)

    I'm stuck on that screen? How do I get Smart Control back?

    I don't believe that SmartControl is retained once the radio is powered off. You can look in the 6400M/6600M User's Guide to find the steps to get to SmartControl again. ( first you need to have SmartSDR running on your pc )

    It is, at least my 6400M boots to Smart Control. Should it need to be (re)selected, it is via the M panel: Menu > Radio > Switch Version > Select version and on same screen select Smart Control.
