SD Card Access Error

[bobruzzo]

What is the EXACT procedure for FORMATTING a NEW micro SD card, and COPYING the data to it? I looked around and can't find anything.

There have been numerous posts on this. I found several by googling SD card format radio reference in less than a minute.

Hi All!

I replaced SD card in my BCD536P the first day I received it and used the original card and another for backups. I even have the radio on a UPS. A bit hardcore. My military training back in the days of the Army Security Agency (U.S.A.S.A.) still haunt me.

ASA, been there, done that.

Is this a newer version of the high endurance Sandisk card? https://amzn.to/2PvTaSX
It was released in 2019, the one linked earlier was 2015. Newer doesn't necessarily mean better. Seems to tick off the boxes for high endurance.

This is what I use in mine...

Those are the ones I currently use in all of my SDS200 scanners. Haven't had any problems at all.

Thank you, just ordered the newer Sandisk and the Samsung you linked...both high endurance. Hopefully they both last a long time.

Either card will work just fine...
The only difference is the "Class rating"... Class 1 is slower than a class 3...
But you need a USB 3.0 or 3.1 port to take advantage of that speed... The scanner is a USB 2.0...
Now if your using an external USB 3.0 card reader you will notice a difference on the write and read speed...

Another option: Samsung 32GB PRO Endurance UHS-I microSDHC Memory Card

Just thinking out loud. . . . Card capacities are getting larger and larger. Wonder what is going to happen if/when 32 GB cards can't be found?

That Samsung card info says "This microSDHC card has an endurance rating of up to 17,520 hours " That's exactly 2 years of continuos use and are the reason for that odd number of hours. But they don't state at what bit rate. It supports 4k video so that data rate per second compared to a scanners limited audio rate must make a difference. But perhaps it has nothing to do with write cycles, it's only how long the electronics will work. They give a 2 year warranty, perhaps it's somehow related.
