    SDS200 and Corpus Christi Tx.

    I monitor Corpus Christi via internet. I am curious would the Uniden sds200 allow me to receive more police and fire channels or is the system encrypted and what I hear on the Internet is the only transmission voice available. Thank You

    Windows Error 5 when writing RPI image to sd card?

    Have you tried etched? is your image an actual boot image. If so you load boot image as source file in etched and then it will flash to new sd card. Permissions will not be issues then. Hope this is a fix for you.

    Is it worth upgrading to new scanner.
