Received a refurbished TRX-2 scanner on Thursday and it was clearly not properly refurbished (see other thread).
Out of the box the scanner had a Code: 4-00 error. I fixed this by cleaning the contacts on the included SD card with De-Oxit Red, then conditioned the contacts with De-Oxit gold. (we use De-Oxit for battery contacts in work). I formatted the SD card in my laptop and loaded a few systems on it.
I have the scanner set on a single DMR conventional channel and the scanner is set to feed discriminator out to a PC running DSD+. Everything was running fine Saturday evening. I checked this morning and the scanner was not decoding. I held the power button to turn off the scanner, waited 30 seconds and held the power button to turn it on. Came up with Init SD card then eventually comes up with loading firmware, please do not turn off scanner. If I let go of the button it turns off. If I continue to hold the power button through that message I get another Code:4-00 error.
Seems I got a TURD.
