Greeting all.
I'm new to the scanning hobby and came to this via HAM radio. I'm struggling a bit trying to find out how to deal with the an issue updating my BCD436HP scanner. I've talked with tech support and has this occur on two separate occasions. Let me spell out the situation.
I have a Mac (new with plenty of resources) and I'm virtualizing Windows XP (preparing to move to Win7). I know my way around a computer quite well (career thing) and know my gear is running well. I've replicated this issue using two separate scanners and spent about 1/2 hour on the phone with Uniden tech support. I know I'm running the current and current version of HomePatrol and have figured out a workaround but it's really not optimal.
So, when I plug my scanner into my computer and try to run an update, it works once, then any subsequent time accessing the scanner I need to remove the memory card and re-partition and format it for it to work again. Once I've done an initial update, when I connect the scanner to my computer, it mounds the SD card and I see my 'E:' drive but if I try and access it through Explorer, it just hangs the Windows UI.
Has anyone seen any anomalies like this? I'm just looking for some additional feedback or suggestions at this point.
Thanks.
