in Remote Operation (SmartLink)
6500, latest version Smartsdr 3.7.4. everything works fine. I can connect via Wi-Fi at home no problem. I can connect at one hotel Wi-Fi with no problem and everything works fine. Next hotel no go. Smartsdr sees the radio, test is green, but when trying to connect I get the message "unable to connect to radio. try again" why will it connect at on hotel and not the other?? oh, I've also tried connecting directly to the lan via ethernet at the hotel and it still not connect.

    I suspect that different hotels use different WiFi routing hardware — and they likely have different firewalls in place (or maybe none at all!)

    Sometimes, the hotels I visit, will partially, or fully block, the UDP ports necessary for the SmartSDR waterfall view.

    It is hit and miss a lot of times in my opinion. Find a good hotel, with good Internet that works well for remote access, and stay there more often.

    I’ve personally had good luck with Hilton, Sonesta, and Marriott… plus others.

    Thanks, that's sort of what I thought. Just wanted someone's take on it incase I was missing something. Thanks for the reply

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.
