Welcome to the Working with Scanners with Secure Digital (SD) Cards article. This article should be a repository for hints, tips, known issues and fixes regarding the use, formatting, loading and other issues that involve SD cards that are used in the following scanners:


GRE Radio Shack Uniden Whistler
PSR-700 Pro-18 HP-1 WS1080
PSR-800 Pro-107 HP-2 WS1088
Pro-668 BCD436HP WS1095
Pro-668 BCD536HP WS1098
TRX-1
TRX-2

If a particular tip is specific to a particular model, please be sure to mention that in the description. Details Matter - the more details you supply, the better this article will become.


General Tips and Information

  • Many of you have questions about Boot/Load times of the Whistler SD card scanners
    • At boot, the code looks through the entire File Allocation Table, counting “free” clusters. This is necessary so that we know how much free space is available on the card at startup. The number of clusters that must be counted is directly related to the size of the card. As a result, a change in card capacity at a minimum will impact the “Init SD FileSys” time. In addition to card size, the “Verifying Data” time is dependent on the usage of the card and is heavily dependent on file system fragmentation, used space, etc.
