Do I have to purchase a Flex Radio license to use a used Flex Radio 6300 I just purchased from a former Flex Radio user?

    Not at all. The license travels with the radio for the highest version he was licensed for. I hope that makes sense.

    DogparkSDR is specific for am Apple Mac.

    You might want to check your "pretty old PC" against the suggested specifications to see if it will meet the minimum for SmartSDR 2.4.9  You'll find information in the Support area of the main FlexRadio website.

    Per the prior owner you can run any Version 1.x and Version 2.x release of SmartSDR, but I'd start with the 2.4.9 they said they were running.  The download is free from FlexRadio (links are on the main page of this forum) .

    When you decide to upgrade to SmartSDR Version 3.x there is a cost.  

    As for your stuck PC, who knows where you sent it trying to install a Mac program on a Windows platform?  If it has stayed stuck, try the Ctrl-C routine, and the Ctrl-Alt-Del one to see if you can interrupt things.  If you can get Task Manager to open you may be able to **** the Dogpark install.  Otherwise you probably have to pull the plug and hope for the best.  

    Everything you actually need to get going you can find in the Flex-6300 user manual and SmartSDR v2.x user manuals in the support area of the main FlexRadio website.

    Often when you get responses like the one you're seeing about the PC delaying while turning off it is because Windows has loaded an update and is in the middle of installing it.  You may have multiple things going on.  When MS decides it's time to update my PC, which has pretty good performance, normally, response time becomes very doggy and messy.  I just walk away and come back later. Good luck getting this running - you will like it once it's set up!

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.
