No Upgrade Light in Radio Chooser

Hopefully, I'm just missing something, but I read thru the v1.4 Release Notes, turned on my 6700, opened SSDR, and got a radio available green dot in the chooser, not the yellow upgrade dot that I should get to upgrade from 1.3.8 to 1.4. What do I need to do? Thanx and 73, Jim

Did you click on the set up in the location where the new program is located? Sounds to me like you are still running 1.3.8 instead of 1.4 icon.0

Not sure what you mean by "...where the new program is located?" I haven't downloaded anything yet. I thought that was kicked off by SSDR giving me a yellow upgrade dot and an upgrade button in the radio chooser when I open my SSDR 1.3.8 icon.

You have to download the new 1.4 program and install it. After you install it, a new 1.4 icon will appear on your desk top and you double click on it. Your Flex will see that it no longer is being executed from 1.3.8 and will start to load the new firmware into its memory.

Ah, the "aha" moment. I just reviewed Steve's announcement e-mail and see the link for the 1.4 installer. Thanx for your assistance. 73

Thanx, also, Alex, altho I don't really need to uninstall 1.3.8 from what I've read, do I?

The older versions don't have to be uninstalled, but be sure you don't load the old one by accident in the future and "downgrade" your radio back to the older version.0
-
All the older versions occupy different locations than the newer versions. I found it makes no difference whether I keep them or not as long as I always start 1.4. I just deleted the icons to make sure I don't start any older versions of SmartSDR or any CAT or DAX versions.0

Uninstalling old versions is just my way to stay sane ;-)
My wife isn't so sure about that, though....1 -
