Problems after upgrade to SSDR 3.1.8 - 6600M

Upgraded 6600M from SSDR 2.4.9 (working beautifully) to ver 3.1.8 yesterday.  Then, after rebooting everything (radio and computer -- Windows 10 ThinkCentre tower), seems like I have a DAX problem.  Here's what I see.

When I connect via SSDR to see the panadapter on my screen, I still see the panadapter on the radio (hmmm).  Further, the VFO on radio can be on 15m CW and the screen display can show 10m CW, for example.  Not "tracking" one another.  Formerly, I think the radio screen would go dark when I activated the "Connect" button on SSDR.  (scratching head).

Now, when I look at the DAX Control Panel, in the TX Stream area, I see DAX TX button can be dark.  When I roll across, I see a message such as "Connected to Flex-6600M named 'Larrys6600m' at IP address....", plus "This channel is not enabled -- press this channel button to enable the channel."  So, I click the button...it turns "greenish" and this message appears when I roll the mouse over it:  "DAX is not selected for transmit.  The radio might try to transmit, but will not transmit DAX audio.  You must enable DAX in SmartSDR by clicking the DAX button"  Hmmm.  Plus, I see a notation in the TX Stream box that says "DAX TX Off."   

Naturally, the radio won't transmit.  I can press "TUNE" on the front panel and get output.  But, when I use the paddle, I get just dits on both paddles.  (scratching head).

This is probably something really simple.

Is there something I should do other than pull out the manual and dig through on my own?  (scary thought, indeed).  

I feel like something got "disconnected" when I simply upgraded.

Tnx in advance for any help, direction, suggestions, counseling, abuse, etc.  :-)

I suspect you do not have CAT and DAX associated with the correct "station" in the station dropdown.  If using SmartSDR for Windows, the station name of your PC is located in the bottom center of the SmartSDR console and it has to be what is selected in the Station dropdown box for both DAX and CAT.  If you are controlling the radio using the front panel, the station name will be "FLEX-6600M"

Ahhhhhhhh...okay, I saw that Tim, but couldn't figure out why the PC name was showing up, too.  Flash Gordon was really onto sump'n there, wasn't he???  :-)
