SmartCW 2.3.2 fixes the USB network on Windows 11 after the September 2026 update, and gives the trainer the same speed as the keyer. Your settings in config.txt are kept when you update.

Windows 11 (September 2026 update, KB5124008)

After this Windows update, SmartCW with firmware 2.3.1 or older does not work on some Windows 11 PCs:

  • Windows refuses SmartCW's USB network adapter (Code 10 in Device Manager);
  • SmartCW then restarts about every 12 s, and Windows plays the "device connected" sound each time.

Microsoft enables the check PC by PC, so one Windows PC can show it while another doesn't yet. With 2.3.2, Windows accepts the adapter again. Even when a computer's network driver fails, SmartCW keeps running with the serial port and MIDI instead of restarting.

Updating a SmartCW that has this problem: do the update from a Mac or a Linux computer (a Raspberry Pi works too). The Windows PC that shows the problem cannot keep SmartCW running long enough.

Trainer speed

The trainer now uses the keyer's speed.

  • Changing the speed on a trainer page changes it on the Live page, in Settings and for the paddles, and the other way round.
  • The trainer's effective (Farnsworth) speed and tone stay its own.
  • The Callsigns drill still speeds up and slows down within the exercise, starting from your speed.
