SmartSDR v4.2.20 question

Ken
Ken Member ✭✭

Well I've upgraded from

SmartSDR v4.2.18 to the new SmartSDR v4.2.20, did everything I was supposed to including a cold reboot - twice, rebooted the computer.

I do not see the new features, band edge, or noise filter goodies. What am I doing wrong? I shows the proper software version below and I even hit the refresh button. I do not see any changes this this version!

    Hi Ken, did you purchase SmartSDR+?

    If you purchased it, is your radio connected to the Internet? If not, you need to have it on a LAN segment that has Internet access. Once the license is verified, you can remove Internet access.

    You can tell by looking at the Radio tab on the Radio Setup screen.

    Click on the DISPLAY Tab on upper left, Scroll down to Band. Set it to your IARU region and then turn it on.

    You will need to select and activate whichever other features you are interested in by visiting the appropriate area you are interested in. For example the Filters may now be customized by selecting SETTINGS at the top of SSDR and then select the RADIO Tab and then select the FILTERS Tab and there you can adjust those. and so on.

    Does this work on a Maestro C?

    As long as you have updated the radio and then tried connecting with the Maestro, then the Maestro should update as well. Then, you should have the same selection available.
