FlexRadio Systems announces the immediate availability of SmartSDR v1.10.15 BETA for the FLEX-6000 Signature Series SDRs and Maestro. SmartSDR v1.10.15 is the second BETA release for SmartSDR v1.10 that contains fixes for previously identified software defects.
What is a Public Beta Release?
Public beta releases serve the dual purpose of demonstrating a product offering to potential customers, and testing among an extremely wide user base likely to bring to light obscure issues that a much smaller testing team might not find.
This is the second beta for SmartSDR v1.10 – this means that you will be using a version of SmartSDR that is more stable that the previous beta release, but not yet ready for general availability use at this time. The Engineering and Customer Service Teams have deemed it stable enough for release so that we may gather additional data points in regards to operability. So if you are a regular user of SmartSDR that is not concerned by this possibility here’s a great opportunity to help us make the next GA (general availability) release even better.
Since SmartSDR v1.10.15 is a beta release, support is handled a little differently than with a general release. The Station Integration USB cables feature is what designates SmartSDR v1.10.15 as a BETA release. All communications regarding the USB cable connect feature, such as questions, comments, request for support or reporting a bug should be sent via e-mail to: integration@flexradio.com
As with previous general releases, support for all other features in SmartSDR v1.10.15 is provided by submitting a support ticket through the HelpDesk.
Because this is a public Beta, for USB cable-related issues, we encourage you to contact us at the email address above rather than posting questions on the FlexRadio Community, social media, or submitting a HelpDesk support ticket.
For this release, in particular, it is highly recommended that you review the SmartSDR v1.10.15 Release Notes before upgrading as there are several “best practices” recommendations that will facilitate a smooth transition to the new version of SmartSDR for Windows. In addition, review the Known Issues section as well to determine if upgrading is best for you.
If you are a Maestro user, it is recommended that you review the SmartSDR v1.10.15 Maestro Release Notes and ChangeLog before upgrading.
Thank you for your participation. The developers look forward to receiving your feedback on this beta release of SmartSDR.
What’s fixed in SmartSDR v1.10.15
SmartSDR v1.10.15 includes several fixes including:
- Intermittent Radio Crashes Fixed: A defect was inadvertently introduced in SmartSDR v1.10.8 that could result in some radios intermittently crashing after an indeterminate amount of time. The root cause of this issue was related to some DHCP optimizations and has been corrected. (Defect #4270).
- USB Cable Fixes and Updates: Based on the excellent feedback from users utilizing the USB Cable feature, a variety of issues have been corrected (Defects #4264, #4301, #4302, #4313 and #4300).

- SmartSDR Settings File Improvements: The reliability and integrity of the file saved on the PC that stores SmartSDR client persistence data has been improved. File errors are now caught and fixed automatically instead of silently failing to save. (Defect #4329).
- Various Fixes and Updates to the SmartSDR User Interface: SmartSDR v1.10.15 BETA contains various updates and defect corrections to the SmartSDR GUI. Please see the Changelog for additional details (Defects #4260, #4275, #4368, #4331, #4371, #4387 and #4299).
