Had the 436 about ... I guess it's been about 2 weeks. Can't say as I'm having a good time. BC100, BC300, BC800XLT, BC200XLT, BC3000XLT, BC780XLT, BC250D, BCD396T, BCD396XT, BCD996XTs ... all were fun within a day or three.
Not so much this one. :-/
Took some time, but got past the corrupted SD card. Twice, actually. First time, Windows had no issue reformatting it (it was corrupt from the get-go). This time, the radio could read the card, but nothing else. W7 in a VM couldn't see it. WXP on an old Dell could see it, but would lock up if I dared to try to format it. Fortunately, my Mac Book Pro could see it and reformat it. After that, XP could see it and I was able to reformat it again. Fine. Buggy implementation. Whatever.
Now, how come every time I load my data, I have to turn off the gawd-awful key beep (an annoyance not unique to the BCD436HP!) and reset the backlight function? Surely this is saved somewhere but where?
Systems and Groups (and Sites) were simple compared to this.
