There's a new version of Basestation - Version 175 - available for download from the Kinetic website:
http://www.kinetic.co.uk/newsite/basestationdownloads1.php
In the absence of a Release Note (one day, maybe, one day!), I have no idea what this includes or fixes.
There are two Zip files.
BaseStation-175-exe-only.zip - just the Basestation.exe
BaseStation-175-CDROM.zip - full install file.
If you're running a recent version, just rename the existing Basestation.exe "Basestation.exe.old" and copy the new one to the Basestation folder. Restart Basestation.
Fixes (apply to SBS-3 only)
* Saving of audio mixer settings to Non Volatile Memory for channels 5 and 6
* Fixed button to restore default radio settings for the Non Volatile Memory.
The release notes are buried in the CD-ROM zip in the Basestation folder - ReleaseNotes.txt.
Here are all the updates for 2012 - please note AirNav. :)

Although not mentioned in the Release Notes, the BasestationReporter.exe in the CD-ROM zip is new. The splash screen is still labelled 1.0.0.28 but it's a slightly bigger file and includes a bug fix. There may be others but this is the one I've found.
If you open Reporter and select Sessions, the Field drop down box now works as it should. Before it never scrolled. ;D
Just copy the BasestationReporter.exe file and replace in the same way as the Basestation.exe.
