SDS100/SDS200: Since the firmware update (latest)

[kruser]

What GPS do you have and did you check the GPS baud rate in the scanner?

He said he did in message 16.

Baud rate change had no effect. I have the GPS adapter specifically for the SDS100....the latest and greatest. Baud rate back to 4800

My SDS100 is set to 4800 and works with the factory GPS and factory cable.
My SDS200 is set to 4800 and works with the factory GPS made for the SDS200.

When I connect the Uniden GPS to my SDS100 I get the “serial port/mass storage” question. I hit the serial port key, scanner begins scanning and then goes back to the “serial port/mass storage” question again. After about 5 times things finally start working correctly. Am I doing something wrong initially?

Odd my factory GPS is 9600 Baud the other homebrew GPS is 4800 Baud. (This is SDS200)

I have the Uniden BC-GPSK with the Uniden BC-UTGC cord to connect to the SDS100. Baud rate set to 4800.

Anyone have any thoughts as to why the "GPS" indicator isn't lighting up? Puck has power and adaptor is connected to the SDS100 - the larger of the two ports and the red charging light is on. BTW, what is the smaller port for on the scanner?

Maybe I'm not getting enough power into it. I connected the USB plug to one of my iPhone USB cube chargers that plugs into a 110V outlet in my truck. Maybe the cube isn't providing enough juice? I'm on the road and will try the Uniden USB adaptor that came with the SDS100.

Stay tuned...

Upgrade question, is it possible to upgrade by connecting to a Mac an copy the firmware files to a memory card

Yes you can run sentinel on a Mac using crossover for Mac

I’ll look into crossover, various versions of wine would not install sentinel and I sure would like to have sentinel working on my MacBook Air.

That port is there to see how many times people ask what it is for.
