If you have upgraded the exe file you will retain the ini settings for your radio.
In the past the SDR on the SBS-3 was internal

You now have 3 options SDR,Internal and external

If you go to Settings Toolbar

Uncheck internal

Uncheck External if selected

Check SDR and then restart basestation it will save the SDR to your ini file and the buttons will work

Hope that helps

Rob they will because the SBS-1eR is internal and SBS-3 is now SDR !

OK, Chris has phoned and explained the issue, although I didn't upgrade the exe, mine was a clean install..

If one has an SBS-3, the icons have to be "activated" by telling BaseStation that you want to use its SDR.

See the screenshot.

It appears that SBS-1eR customers don't experience this issue as the Internal Radio is checked by default.

Methinks a small problem of "usability" for Kinetic to ponder.

The puck alongside the SBS-1

The SBS-1 doesn't have a radio so these icons won't work.

What Toolbars do you have ticked when using the Puck SDR?

Ok, from Toolbar options turned off "Internal Radio" and enabled "SDR".

Now working fine. As Mike says "useability" seems to be obscure - once you know, it's a "doh" moment. None of us worked that out!

And I've only ever operated an SBS-1e from this PC so the defaults were applied even though there was no radio.

What's even more annoying is that I actually read the manual for BS184  ???  and the subtle distinction between internal and SDR is sadly lacking. All that is mentioned is "If the built-in SDR toolbar is not visible...". Well it was, just the wrong one and since they are identical, that gives no clue.

Anyway up and running now so moans over.
