Starting SmartSDR with a (Win 11) Batch File

Jim  KJ3P

Under Win 10, I always started up SmartSDR and a couple of helper apps with a single batch file. However, the same batch file doesn't seem to work under Win 11 (the helper apps start OK). This is the line that worked OK under Win 10:

C:\Users\kj3p\xxxxxxx>start C:\Program Files\FlexRadio Systems\SmartSDR v4.1.5\SmartSDR.exe --serial-xx-xx-xx-xx

Any ideas?

    I would drop this question into an AI like ChatGPT and have it build the Batch file for you. I have found that to be very successful.

    Hi Jim, here is the line in my .bat file that works under Win 10. Try this in Win 11 and see if it works:

    Start "" "C:\Program Files\FlexRadio Systems\SmartSDR v4.1.5\SmartSDR.exe"

    The double quotes around the executable path are missing in your example. I can't remember if they are absolutely necessary, but eons ago I found an example with them and have been doing it this way ever since. I forget what the null parameter is at the beginning, but that might be the issue as well.

    I believe the quotes are necessary if there are spaces in the path.

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.
