Software Version Compatibility in Flex Ecosystem?

Pat W5VY

With the expanding number of FRS radios, PGXL, TGXL, AG, Maestro(s) is the latest version of software for each piece of hardware compatible with the latest version of all the other pieces of hardware. I can't remember why, but I downloaded TGXL 1.2.17 from the 4O3A site. I think it was a solution someone posted on the Community? Latest on FRS download page is TGXL 1.2.11. I'm having issues with TGXL going into bypass mode when there is nothing in the band-map to instruct it to do that. Should I roll back to TGXL 1.2.11. Is there testing underway with TGXL 1.2.17?

Thanks/73, Pat, W5VY

It is recommended that for PGXL, TGXL, and AG, that you download the latest utility and firmware from the 4O3A.com website.

FlexRadio no longer programs the updates the PGXL software.

Thanks for the reply Ken. It has been a busy year and I must have missed that announcement. The FRS Software web page still lists all the 4O3A widgets and has "Newest Release" radio buttons for them. If the new scheme is to visit 4O3A for new software on their devices, the FRS Software page should probably steer customers in that direction. I assume 4O3A won't release updates without integration testing with SmartSDR.
