I have no more ideas...if it shows that it is writing to the scanner, then it is writing to the scanner. I can't think of any condition where it would say that it is writing to the scanner and actually not be writing to the scanner.

Once you have unplugged the cable and the scanner has come back on, what does MENU>SETTINGS>SEE SCANNER INFORMATION>FIRMWARE VERSION get you?

@Skyteam11: When you get a chance, go into the menu and select Settings->Restore Options->Reset User Settings. This will do a "factory reset" on your scanner but it won't erase your favorites, just in case you still can't write to the scanner. Then connect it to your computer and choose Mass Storage mode, but don't start Sentinel just yet - see if you can see your radio as a drive letter in Windows Explorer first. If you can see your radio and can browse around in the folders and files on the SD Card, then Sentinel should be able to see it too. Fire up Sentinel and try to run the firmware update again.

If that fails then (gulp) you can try Settings->Restore Options->Clear User data which will wipe it completely clean as if you had just taken it out of the box. Fair warning: Doing this WILL erase your favorites. Make sure all is backed up in Sentinel prior to doing the full reset.

Give that a go and let us know what happens.

That's really bizarre. I'd have to say at this point try a different SD card (or reformat the one you have) and see what happens. It sounds like the scanner and the SD card aren't getting along vey well anymore.

The more smiles I see the greater the chance that I MAY smile :wink:


I just might go from "on the other side of the fence" to "on the fence" in my decision-making process.

Keep the positive news coming :cool: !!

I just placed my order for a 436HP from the Ham Radio Outlet website due to the free shipping.

Now My question is "Do I still download the firmware update when I get the radio ?


Thanks
