Only had this radio for two days and have not manged to get it working yet.
After following the "Start Here" guide though the software and copying it to the scanner I press the power button on the radio and it lights up and says Radio Shack Pro-18 Digital and it freezes and does not start.
Can anyone help me?

This might be a dumb question, but did you install the SD card before you uploaded to to the radio?

Yes I have installed the SD card installed and I even formatted it using the provided software.
The only way to get the radio out of this is by taking out the batteries.
I bought the radio from a used electronics website for $150 it looked brand new when I took it out the box.
It worked fine until I connected it to the computer and formatted it using the software.

After trying a few different SD cards and formatting each of them I now get error code 5-00, the manual says it's a problem with the card and I should try to reformat it.
I will install the software on a different computer and try to reformat the card from that one.
