The plan is to make the software available after I open up the FlexRadio
East Cost Operations Center tomorrow morning (9/5) after getting a good
night's sleep. Release day is always a busy one.

Not unless Tim is planning to stay up all night! And he's in the
Eastern Time Zone!
One reason we wanted to release the release notes is to minimize the
support call load after the release. (How many times can I use
"release" in a sentence.... yikes!) We are very excited about the
new Firewire driver in 2.4.4 but there will be a few folks caught off
guard by the "You can't go back" notice in the release notes and we
wanted to do the release during the day in the middle of the week so
we can help if needed. We are aware of a few folks that use different
PowerSDR versions to perform different functions. For example, one
ham uses 2.23 for CW and 2.35 for Digital modes. The good news is
that 2.4.4 has even more expanded profile saving capabilities to make
multiple modes easier. The BETTER news is that your 2.3.5 database
will import directly into 2.4.4 without any hassle. The 'bad
news'...(not really bad to us) is the new Firewire driver is
incompatible with all previous versions of PowerSDR.
One simple trick I tell people to prepare for upgrades is to use
Windows' Snipping Tool (screen capture) and make pictures of your
PowerSDR setup screens. Grab your mic settings from the main screen,
VAC and CAT settings from SETUP, plus any special setups you might
have. Then do an EXPORT DATABASE from SETUP. This will make a copy
of your current database and store it in case we need to retrieve
something later.
Lastly, if you do have an issue, please be patient with the support
team. I highly recommend opening a trouble ticket at
http://helpdesk.flexradio.com . This alerts everyone on the team you
have an issue and the first available person will get back to help
you. Of course the phone is always fine but please leave a voicemail
if you get the dreaded message.
Many thanks to Tim for making sure everything is ready for this new
release!
Enjoy!
73,

It is not a beta release. PowerSDR v2.4.4 is an official release.

> PowerSDR v2..4.4 is going to be released tomorrow. In
preparation for that, the release notes are available for download
a day early. The reason for it is that PowerSDR v2.4.4 has a new
Firewire driver that is much better performing and more stable on
systems with long duration DPCs. BUT, once you install it, it is
not backwards compatible with previous versions of PowerSDR for
FLEX-5000 and FLEX-3000 users.
