SmartSDR for iOS v6.2.02 Now Available

Marcus, DL8MRE announces that release of SmartSDR for iOS v6.2.02 is now available for download or update from the Apple App Store.

SmartSDR is a full featured radio client that enables your iPad or iPhone to operate your FlexRadio device. It is fully compatible to SmartSDR v1, v2 (including SmartLink) and v3 (including MultiFlex and SmartControl).

Please note: This App requires a FlexRadio Systems® Series-6000 Software Defined Radio (SDR) Device.  However, the App also contains a FlexRadio Simulator (Demo Mode) so you can try this App even without owning a FlexRadio. PLEASE NOTE: The Demo Mode audio is by far not as good as when connecting the App to a real FlexRadio. That quality is identical to SmartSDR for Windows.
