I just upgraded to SmartSDR 3.1.12 without issue. It took about two minutes for the firmware to upgrade. So far everything is working and acting normally.

    The Mac client is not capable of doing firmware updates.  This is only done using a Maestro or SmartSDR for Windows.  One option for a Mac is to run SmartSDR for Windows as a virtual machine using something like Parallels as the hypervisor.

    Oh well, we are not equal in knowledge about software and informatics....I blundered it again, as with  last update, this time I got the update on my laptop, but on my 6600M it reverted back to version 2.4....hard to believe but true...will have to open a help ticket for a teamviewer visit....the teamviewer visit saved me during last update!

    Thanks Tim. I did this using Parallels... downloaded SmartSDR and it immediately recognized a firmware update was needed, then performed it. I'm back on the air with dogparkSDR and the 3.1.12 firmware. Great work!

    As a young child, the shortwave radio in my grandmother's house transported me to countries I never know existed until I broker out the encyclopedia and looked them up.

    Thanks Tim, Aloha!!!  On a side note, I did a bush fix on the power poles DC power input connector.  This may be some thing that I would like to send the radio back to fix (replace) a very loose connector. Has been causing problems, because of the looseness.
