3 INSTALLING SMARTSDR FOR WINDOWS ON YOUR PC

The SmartSDR for Windows application is the software used to interface with the FLEX-6000 radio

hardware for viewing RF spectrum and controlling the radio. It must be installed before you can start

using your FLEX-6000 with a Windows PC.

3.1 RECOMMENDATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

The minimum required CPU for SmartSDR is an Intel i3 2100T or an AMD Athlon Phenom II or greater.

Lesser processors may not perform adequately when displaying multiple or full screen spectrum

displays. However, for the optimal user experience, as most users run multiple applications along

with SmartSDR for Windows such as loggers and digital mode programs, a quad-core CPU or greater

is highly recommended.

3.2 MINIMUM WINDOWS AND .NET REQUIREMENTS

SmartSDR is a Windows .NET Framework application designed to operate on Windows 7, Windows

8.x and Windows 10. The .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile is required.

The minimum version of Windows supported by SmartSDR v1.2.0 and greater is Windows 7. The

SmartSDR Installer will automatically detect your current Windows version and will notify you if it

does not meet the minimum operating system requirements.

If you need to install.NET Framework 4.0, the CD based SmartSDR for Windows Installer will

automatically install it from the CD. If you are not using the installation CD, the installer will attempt

to download the necessary software from the Internet. Alternately, you can download it directly

from Microsoft using this web link BEFORE installing SmartSDR for Windows.

Please run Microsoft Update after installing the .NET Framework 4.0 to get all the required patches

and security updates.

3.3 INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

If you are installing SmartSDR for Windows from the CD, place it in your CD drive and close the drive

door. The SmartSDR software installer will automatically begin. If you are installing SmartSDR for

Windows from the installer downloaded from the Internet, double click on the SmartSDR installer

(SmartSDR_v2.x.x_Installer.exe) to begin.
