No Fastlane mails in a while.

[Rotella]

I haven't received an email/update to my fastlane in ages. December, actually.
I paid for unlimited, I'm 99% sure.
I had to re-format my computer, I think I saved my old folder on a thumb drive, but it was a bit cluttered from failed builds.
Would someone offer tips as to how to start fresh?
Importantly, how to renew my DSDplus Fastlane lifeline?

Thank you, I would like contact someone..but what is that abbreviation?

I think i saw a message saying not to use personal emails, but the forums instead?

Thanks for simplifying, my modest talents don't include computer science to the extent I wish they did.
I have to ask remedial questions.
Would ya'll be able to point me to the developer?
On the fastlane site it just has a paypal address.
I would love to fire up my system again.
Never was able to work Ph2.
What are the most affordable, yet capable dongles nowadays?
One of mine got snapped off by someones knee at computer.

First startup DSDPLus. Now click on Misc at the top of the Event Log. Go down to the bottom and click on Check for Updates Now.
This will tell you that your running the most recent version of DSDPlus or it will give you the option to download an update...

If your version of DSDPlus dosn't have this option, craft an email to dsdplusfastlane@gmail.com explaining that you haven't received any updates since December and include the version you have installed. A team member should respond with a download link to get you caught up.

I use a bunch of these:

Amazon.com: NooElec NESDR Smart v4 SDR - Premium RTL-SDR w/Aluminum Enclosure, 0.5PPM TCXO, SMA Input. RTL2832U & R820T2-Based Software Defined Radio: Computers & Accessories

Amazon.com: NooElec NESDR Smart v4 SDR - Premium RTL-SDR w/Aluminum Enclosure, 0.5PPM TCXO, SMA Input. RTL2832U & R820T2-Based Software Defined Radio: Computers & Accessories

www.amazon.com

I've noticed the price has increased substantially - like $8.00 more than what I paid for them last year.

Send an email to the developer, (the same email listed in the DSDPlus.txt file to send payment)
dsdplusfastlane@gmail.com
Explain your situation briefly.
They will send you an email/updated FL dowload link and password..

Thank you SO MUCH fellas.
Very informative and friendly.
I will get on it after installing this shoe molding
My wife has her priorities all mixed up.

It's working!
Thanks to you guys and "Signals Everywhere" YT channel!!!
This was SO MUCH easier than my old setup of SDR Sharp/Unitrunker/DSD all mishmashed which I could never get to scan.
So far just a simple DSDPlus with one dongle ..older silver RTL-SDR.. (waiting for new Noelec XTR for two dongle setup.) my second one was an old RTL one with the tiny jack which got snapped off.

Same, I was just trying to figure out where the new menus came from in peoples screen shots, the last email I got was in December, I applied that one and it asked me if I wanted to check for an update and sure enough there was one from the 15th of April but no email.

EDIT:

Turns out my password from December worked on the April zip file. Go figure!

I was told in the past that there is a limit to sending emails so they had to implement a update check and downloader feature to cut the volume of emails. some providers don't like seeing mass emails from 1 individual or even just a few individuals. I haven't seen any emails either but I realize the mass email issue was imminent with growing demand. So I wait for the update to arrive through DSD+ FL itself. I think that's one of the best things they had decided on.

Saves us from checking email every week. Just Wait till DSD+ FL update checker to popup at load up anouncing a new version if there is one.
