[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Fwd: [csidmr] N0GSG Contact Manager Version 2.46b and Malware - An Update

[Ian]

For those with DMR radios.  Many positive reviews of this software.

All,

We have just released N0GSG Contact Manager version 2.46b. *N0GSG Contact
Manager * <http://n0gsg.com/contact-manager/>is the world standard software
for working with codeplug data in many different makes of DMR radios,
including Connect Systems, Tytera, AnyTone, and others. It allows you to
freely edit information in all supported codeplugs, and also allows you to
migrate data freely between any supported radio types using copy and paste
commands for individual elements (such as contacts, channels, or zones), or
Structural Import for migrating complete codeplug structures seamlessly.

Version 2.46a incorporated support for the AnyTone AT-D868UV, but
unfortunately, it set off alarm bells on a few anti-virus software
packages. We received several reports of this, and investigated fully to
ensure that something hadn't gone wrong. Everything is fine, but the alarm
bells have kept ringing - - so we've updated the program file to produce a
new SHA-256 hash value. This new build, active as of this evening, will
show as Version 2.46b. *It is functionally identical to 2.46a - - so if
you're using 2.46a successfully, there is no need to download the updated
version*.

*Contact Manager* is delivered via *secured servers* that are scanned daily
for malware. *Our site and software are 100% safe for your computer (we can
make this claim only if you download Contact Manager direct from our site
at http://n0gsg.com/contact-manager/ <http://n0gsg.com/contact-manager/>).*
It is well known that certain anti-virus software (including Windows
Defender) is notorious for delivering false-positive reports. *You may view
an authoritative scan of this entire site and its content by visiting Virus
Total.

*What's coming up next?* We're already looking at the next candidate radio
models to support. Version 2.50 is on the drawing board now, and will
include an exciting new feature that will enable mass-editing of channels.
(No more picking through groups of channels to update time slots, names,
frequencies, or analog settings - - the mass-edit feature will allow you to
make changes on as many channels as needed in one easy operation!)

We welcome your input on this software and very much appreciate your
support for the Contact Manager project!

Best,
Tom
