I have uploaded a new beta correcting a similar error but this happened with Kenwood TS-890S and was related to the S-Meter function. However, try the new beta.

I guess an antivirus/firewall blocking... It's very importat you add exceptions to Swisslog, SmartSDR, SmartCAT and all associated programs in your firewall, allowing all outgoing/incoming communications. Also add exceptions in your antivirus. Smart SDR uses a different folder on every version so make sure you add the exceptions for your current SmartSDR version.

I tested the Flex Radio interface thoroughly with a couple of different Flex Radio units and worked like a charm.

Hello Jordi,

It does not work here even with the latest beta. I have all exceptions, firewall and antivirus added. I have found how it can work but it is no good for me. If after starting SmartSDR I then run Swisslog next it will connect. But if I start another program that connects to the radio, FRStack or SDR-Bridge it does not connect. I think the couple of different Flex radio units that you tested with did not try it with other software already connected to th radio before Swisslog. In this case it does not work. Unfortunately for me, I need FRStack running after SmartSDR because it controls my StreamDeck which interfaces with SmartSDR. So Swisslog has to run second and it does not connect. Back a few versions, before you introduced the search IP feature it does connect, although that version relies on the radio IP never changing. So I am back on that one for now.

UPDATE: all the above is valid when a local link (ethernet direct from radio to computer) is used, giving the 169.254.2.124 radio IP. I have found that if I bridge connections in Windows between ethernet and WiFi so that the radio gets an IP on my router's subnet 192.168.0.xxx, then Swisslog will connect no matter its position starting. So that is good. It does mean though that I must start the router before I start the Flex and the computer. I did not used to at night when I often operate without internet so I'll have to try to remember to put it on. Perhaps the Flex units tested also were not using a local link.

So, really Swisslog needs to behave like any other 3rd party Flex software. But I think you did your best with this already, even contacting Flex themselves, so I guess I shall have to live with it. At least with the latest Beta, I no longer get the integer value error so that is good.

Erik.
