Announcements from Hamcation from flex was on Hamcation website.

I think there wasn't any announcements planned.

Wishful thinking that there would be any. Between parts shortages and FRS not concentrating on SmartSDR in quite some time, I wouldn't look for anything new for quite some time, if ever. I personally think, that improvements in basic features in SmartSDR for example, have either been moved to the back burner or, abandoned altogether. The most likely thing to happen, if at all, concerning SmartSDR, would be a paid for, full version upgrade to generate some income for FRS. New features , maybe integrating some digital modes like FT8 and others without using 3rd party software, would be the next big thing for a full version upgrade. And given their track record, none of the long list of fixes from the " We hear you " survey, from a few years ago, will be addressed, much less implemented for current versions of SmartSDR. Basic features like an all mode Squelch, working Automatic Notch Filter, and many other things that users requested in the survey, will remain as they are, incomplete.

Tough thing to think about. But, given the lack of communication and openness regarding future development of SmartSDR, there's no other logical conclusion one can draw.
