      Hi John, a few questions:

      What radio?

      What version are you updating from/to?

      What O/S (Windows, Mac, etc)?

      What client (SmartSDR, Maestro, M model front panel)?

      How are you connected to the radio (Ethernet, WiFi)?

      Hi Len,

      All good questions that I should have included. Flex 6400, Windows, SmartSDR on PC desktop, WiFi…As I write this, maybe the first thing I need to do is go off WiFI and go to ethernet connection…?

      Hi John

      Cannot update, says "Radio uplinks over Smartlink are not supported at this time"

      That tells me that you were using SmartLink to connect to your radio. That is the only time it shows up.

      It sounds like your radio and the client software (PC, Maestro, etc) is on a totally different network than the radio. If you are using WiFi, is it possible that your WiFi is a Mesh network? If so, it might be that your WiFi clients are totally isolated from the radio and this is why your can't do an update. If this is the case, you may need to change the configuration of your Mesh network so that it runs in a Bridged or AP mode.

      Yes, try a test not using WiFi first. See how that works.

      If this sounds confusing, please open a support ticket and we can get it sorted out for you.

    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.
