Question about Tim's last post "Cleaning up prior versions of SmartSDR on the Maestro and M model ra

dd5md

After the cleanup, will I no longer be able to use v.3.8.23 on my Flex-8600M?

v.3.8.23 is the last fairly stable version. All subsequent versions had issues with audio and low output power. I definitely don't want to use the newer versions, as each update tended to have more bugs than fixes.

I would be happy if the versions would just disappear from the list. It was a lot of work for me installing the updates and then having to undo everything.

I don't want to use versions that include SmartSignal, which I think is the problem.

I'm happy with v.3.8.23, everything is running smoothly.

Best regards!

Mathias,

The technical answer is that once we remove a version from the public list, it will remove that option from your M model (and/or Maestro) selection the next time it is used with internet access (as otherwise, it won't update the list). Using the radio offline, you shouldn't see a change in the list.

FWIW, I believe we pulled v3.8.23 and v3.9.18 off that removal list for this round. However, it is likely that those will eventually be retired. If there are issues with the current release that would keep you from updating, please make sure that you open a helpdesk ticket to let us know about it. We would obviously like to be moving forward with better software and not causing issues that will result in folks not wanting to update. Thanks.
