Was PGXL utility updated to ver3.6.1 as part of TGXL integration or you are a better tester? The latest PGXL release version that I have is 3.5.23.

Thanks,

Dave, that's what I said. I was asking Steve about version on his screen shot.

It is an alpha version. I thought that was clear that 3.5.23 is current public release version. We (Steve and I) are under NDA and cannot discuss any features about new versions.

Eagle eyes as always! Well done on the Alpha catch.

My slip is a reminder guys that the FRS team listens to all of you, does their best to implement & test improvements, fixes and new features, and then lets a test team try it out.

A lot of the test team are really skilled folk who know how to hammer **** test releases. I suspect that a few of us like myself were included to have regular users participate in test cycles.

The screen shot was just half of a two monitor setup, because I didn't want to share some of the (non-FRS) software betas I was running. I'll have to rub out version numbers in the future!

BTW the tuner is doing GREAT! While it has been a long wait, the unit raises the bar in Amateur Radio antenna couplers.

As posted elsewhere:

As I type I am running a remote session of SmartSDR.  Of course I am miles
away from my actual station.  

Can move from QRP to full tilt QRO with a few clicks.

The TGXL Tuner takes it all in stride.

FlexRadio station integration and remote capabilities make my
operations today possible.  

Interesting gear to pursue an interesting hobby!
