SmartSDR and New Radio

Hi Smitty, How are you connected? For example, in my shack, I have my 6400 plugged into a network switch. My laptop is also plugged into the switch. The switch is plugged into my modem/router. I don't have to do anything special - it just all connects.

Let us know how you are configured and we will give you a hand.

OK, that is a very normal way to hook up. To determine if there is a problem with the radio, try connecting an ethernet cable directly from your computer to the radio and start SmartSDR. If that works reliably, then the issue is probably a setting in your router.

If that does not work, it is probably best to submit a help desk ticket with Flex.

There are cases where a static IP is preferred, but normally, DHCP is the way to go. I don't know enough about the various routers and internet providers, but if you list your make and model modem/router and your internet provider, there are folks on here who can probably give you the definitive answer.
