I
have a question for the group.
I’m running v2 on my 6500. I see that the latest update corrects the SD card corruption issue which many have experienced. That's good news. The latest version also comes with a strong suggestion not to revert to an earlier version once you update.
This effectively removes the work-around of using an earlier version to restores proper operation of the antenna tuner. Your **** if you do and **** if you don’t! This situation is so wrong!
Come on FRS, just give us an update on what’s being done. However bad the truth might be, it will restore the faith that many of us are loosing. Lots of negative comments on social media about how this is being handled, and many have stated that it changed their mind about buying a Flex radio. Have your antenna tuner software gurus jumped ship?

I suspect you are using SmartSDR v2.4.9. The next scheduled release of SmartSDR will be the SmartSDR v2.4.9 version with the fixes we added in SmartSDR v2.6.2 and v3.1.12.
This was communicated multiple times in multiple places, such as the latest release announcement.1 -
Noted, so you are saying the next release will fix the tuner situation? If that's the case, Thank You very much!

Lots and lots of us using the internal ATU on V3 with no issues.0
-
No, that is not correct. We will take the current SmartSDR v2.4.9 software and add only the critical fixes that were included in SmartSDR v2.6.2 and 3.1.12. Other fixes of exiting defects will be in a later release.1

I'm with you Robert, too much negativity on the groups to even want to take a chance. I have never been able to download any of the Ver 2 updates successfully.
Still using Ver 2.4.9 until it blows up I guess.0 -
Wow, what is wrong with your computer that you can't download SSDR?0

Mike-VA3MW Administrator, FlexRadio Employee, Community Manager, Super Elmer, Moderator adminOptionsHi Andy
You should not have an issue downloading at all. Is it your AntiVirus that is killing. We literally have it loaded on thousands of other computers.
And, consider what you read on the interweb. People are more included to post negative comments than positive comments. If it was a problem for everyone you would hear about it .. a lot.
Many of use upload and downgrade radios many times a day without issue.
I appreciate this may be a bit foreign for you but if you ask here, many will confirm it works very well.
I am concerned that there is something else going on with your computer that may be impacting things.

Michael, I never stated that I had a problem downloading SSDR. I have SSDR on board and have had it for over a year in order to use the Flex control and mouse on the computer.
I do not know why your neighbor VA3WTB made that assumption.
What I said was that I never had any luck downloading 3rd party programs etc.
He jumped into the middle of a post with out knowing what it was a about.
This is why I do not want to use the community, too many opinions. I will go with out.
We have each others phone numbers and email addresses if you want to talk about this.
Be safe and stay healthy.

Actually this is what you said in your post:
"I have never been able to download any of the Ver 2 updates successfully."0 -
One thing I have discovered about Windows 10, is that even with all protections off it still looks or unforced Safety rules. A way around this is to down load the app installer for what ever you need, like the latest Smart SDR version. And on the down loaded file, right click on it, then select the virus detector. Run it and if it test ok, you will be able to Run the installer. Works for me...,1
