I've read the Wiki and a few threads here about other people having problems, but I didn't find anything that helped. The problem is that when I try to update the scanner using the Uniden software, it says that it failed and to try again (which I did several times).
The scanner is off when I turn on my laptop (XP Pro SP3). I then connect the scanner to the laptop using the serial cable and a serial-to-usb adapter. I turn the scanner on while holding down L/O and 6, and the backlight turns blue with no text. I then try to run the update and it says connecting, but when it fails when it tries to upload the new firmware.
The COM port is correct. I use the same laptop, cable, and adapter to upload my FreeSCAN files with no issues. I've tried different ways such as connecting the laptop when the scanner is already on, without any luck.
Any ideas?
