Hi Ted, Officially, so to speak, you do have the latest update, but FS / VFO did come out with a minor update to fix a couple issues, & will be an official update when the next update comes out. This so called minor / unofficial, so to speak, update does not appear on the released updates page, but on a technical support page. Below is the explanation of the update & the download links.

Yet, my version is a slightly different number. It is 2018.1712.10.400 Would you please explain the difference. Thanks.
