I travel with my SDS100 around Michigan daily. As a rule, I almost always have my Allegan and Ottawa FL’s enabled. My Uniden GPS is the source of power while mobile, and consequently feeding location info to the radio. As a side note, my range is usually at 20 miles (However, as I understand it, the GPS coordinates and range are only used by the scanner if the full database is enabled. Someone correct me if I’m wrong). My service types are always limited to the 3 Law types and Custom 1. When I leave my local area I will enable the full DB and may or may not bother to turn off the FL’s. This has worked spectacularly for a long time, until recently.
Here’s the problem. Lately when I activate the full DB it initially works as expected. But after say 5 minutes or maybe an hour (quite random) the full DB will drop out and the radio will only be scanning the FL’s or the dreaded “Scan Mode, Nothing to Scan” message appears if I’ve turned them off. This condition might last a few minutes or indefinitely until I intervene by deselecting and reselecting the full DB or power cycling the radio.
I’m not one to constantly update my firmware unless I’m experiencing a problem that an update has been stated to address. I also don’t update the DB unless I know there’s been changes to the MPSCS. Been running the same FW and DB for several months. This issue just started recently. SD card is class 10 and relatively new. Has anyone else had this issue?
