Puzzled by Maestro screen "select a version"

My Flex 6300 is running Smart software version 1.99.  When I open the Maestro, it says to select a version and all three require a radio update and all three are BELOW my 1.99.  There is no v1.99 option (only v1.913.23, v1.7.32.15 and v1.8.4.18).  When I choose one of these, the Flex it says that I am downgrading my software.  What's going on?  I'm in a loop!  Help!  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You will always see past versions as an option to roll back.  if you change the Maestro version, the radio has to adjust the firmware as well.  

    Nothing wrong.  Just stay at 1.99 for both the radio and Maestro.

    Upgrade both your Maestro and PC, along with the radio to 1.9.13 and you should be cool.

    It's a 1.99.x vs 1.9.9 thing.  My eyes scanned over that fast and caught me off guard too.

    As I recently learn; I did exactly what you are thinking of doing: If you have not done it yet.
    I learned from Tim and the Elmer's in the group that you must disregard the numbers after the 1.9.3 since 1.9.9 is an older version than 1.9.3. 
    It took me a while to re-do what I had done.. I hope this gets to you ASAP.

    With the next Maestro release, the 4th number after the decimal will be retired.  We will only show the first three version numbers like we do for SmartSDR for Windows.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
