New Release Imminent

KD0RC

It looks like 3.2.37 and 2.7.5 are imminent. The release notes for both are now posted under Documentation. I just read the notes and exported my profiles, so I am ready to do the update (presumably tomorrow, 5/21).

Well, OK, available TODAY! I just did the 3.2.37.3268 update without issue. LAN connected looks great. I will have to try SmartLink later this evening, but so far so good. My TeensyMaestro connects and works correctly as well. Profiles are all there and working properly.

Update: SmartLink works fine for me. So far 3.2.37 works great!

Hi Len,

I am wondering how your Maestro is working on Smartlink with this release? I may be confused, however. My setup is Windows 7 with the updated .net installed on a PC. The notes related to this says the Maestro will not work so that is what is confusing. Here is what the notes say, which I have pasted here:

"CAN I USE A MAESTRO TO CONNECT TO A RADIO THAT HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO SmartSDR v3.2.37 or v2.7.5?: The answer is “NO”. If you can only use a Maestro to connect to a FLEX-6000, we recommend that you DO NOT UPGRADE the radio firmware to v3.2.37 or v2.7.5 and wait until the next version of SmartSDR for Maestro is released."

In fact, I don't even understand why they released this if Maestro A and B, and the 6000/M series will not work with this release.

If you get a chance, I would appreciate your comments.

Hi Bill, I don't have a Maestro, I have a homebrew "TeensyMaestro" that I do not have working remotely yet.

Flex did an unusual thing to get as many people operational as quickly as possible. They did a Windows SmartSDR only release so that most of us could use SmartLink again. The M and Maestro version is still being worked on, and is expected soon. They did not want everyone to have to wait for the Maestro version. Mike, VA3MW and Tim, W4TME did a recent video on the topic:
