Ok Running Win 7 and when I plug in the scanner in usb mode I hear the noise detecting - says installing software then errors saying no drivers found for this device.
Please Help.
USB woes on Win 7.
I'm having the same issue on multiple Windows 7 computers with both the 436 and 536. I've tried multiple USB cables. Sometimes reformatting the SD card works. Other times (like tonight) it does not. When connecting in mass-storage mode the drive is presented to the OS, but Windows insists it is not formatted. Though it works fine when I turn on the scanner.
Several people have reported this across multiple sites. Uniden needs to let us know what's going on. This isn't a cable issue. Either the mass storage support in the scanner is crap and/or buggy, or there's some updated driver we need that we don't have.
The one thing I have not tried (yet) is an external card reader to remove the scanner from the equation. I don't have one here, but I'll borrow one tomorrow and report back.
What firmware are you using?
The radios that I tried to connect were using the new 1.03.03 firmware.
Neither radio would connect directly but I kept the BCD536HP and just use a microSD card reader to access sentinel for firmware and database updates. I can't get the Scanner to set up the drive properly without the "Drive not Formatted error in windows".
Any chance Uniden will release a Mac OS X or IOS version of sentinel in the future. I can't stand using windows software.
