The USB cable was bought from FLEX. the SmartSDR 1.10.3.8 when I plugged the cable into the USB port on back of radio, under settings you will see USB cables,.

My question is; How is the rest of the release working? There were tons of changes other than the USB cable. Anybody found any problems with anything else?
I haven't upgraded yet because I was waiting on a status of the other changes.
Anybody?
