in SmartSDR for Maestro and M models

Good morning everyone, and Happy 4th. of July! At 5:00 am this morning I booted to a gray screen with "Please wait". After 2.5 hrs I'm still looking at Please wait. Is this normal? seems awfully long to wait. I'm curious, and wondering here..

    Ok I'm guessing this has to do with the Removal of the Old SmartSDR software. but its been close to 4 hrs now looking at this.

    Jeff,

    I agree you should not have to wait more than a few minutes… I would suggest removing all power to the radio for a few minutes and try booting up again. If you get the same indefinate wait again, it may be time to open a help desk ticket with Flex.

    Ok, the radio booted up fine this time. But confused now. The versions of the Old SmartSDR are still there. So no clue as to what happened..

    Again thanks for the input..

    The rig has been booting up OK since this happened. I'm still unsure as to what happened. Has the removal of the Old SmartSDR software begun yet? I believe 7-1 was the date for this procedure to start??

    No Jeff, it has not. You are right about the date of 1 July that was heralded by Flex on 25 June. It will happen when it happens, as they say.
