SD Card Questions

My scanner's keypad is slow to respond to a keypress or key-presses, what should I do.

• Invest in a faster class of microSD card, though a bigger card may not be utilized to it's full potential, the speed of boot may indeed be faster, without the boot speed hit GRE/RS/Whistlers take for bigger cards.

My microSD card needs to be replaced / is corrupted. Where can I find tips for this?

• See the Working with Scanners with Secure Digital (SD) Cards article

What may be a cause of the scanner rebooting itself, acting weird or strange?

• MicroSD Cards have a so-called "FAT File Limit"; they're issues related to the amount of files (not size) to be saved, before a larger card is filled: i.e 5Gb of a 16Gb card w/ between 55k and 65k files written. This may cause these scanners to begin to show signs that the data may be corrupt and the scanner reboots itself. See the question above for information on replacing SD cards.

Can I turn off the constant writing to the microSD card?

• Yes, you can. The "Replay" option is what is always writing to the SD card. It is writing continuously so the last received audio (how much depends on your setting) can be replayed. In order to do this, it is constantly recording to the SD card. As of firmware 1.09.02, Uniden added an "Off" option to the list, which disables this feature entirely. The downside - you can't replay missed audio. The upside, is it's not writing to your SD card ALL THE TIME. To turn this off, do the following:

1. Click "Menu"
2. Scroll to "Settings" and select it.
3. Scroll to "Replay Options" and select it.
4. Select "Set replay Duration".
5. Scroll to "Off" and select it.
6. Press "Avoid" to quickly back out of all the Menus. thanks Dsaloman
