Important Compatibility Notice (SmartSDR):

Please note that the current SmartSDR version 4.2.18 is unfortunately incompatible with D4Zero and prevents proper operation. Until FlexRadio releases a fix in a future SmartSDR version, users must remain on an earlier SmartSDR release for full compatibility. We are actively monitoring updates and will notify customers once a working version is available.
