Odd behaviour on an SDS200 running main firmware 1.23.15 and sub firmware 1.03.06
Uniden site reports the latest firmwares are 1.26.01 (main) and 1.23.20 (sub) with the 2 being interdependant.
On asking Sentinel (updated to latest 3.01.01) to check / update the scanner firmware, it says its already the latest version.
On trying a manual upgrade by placing main 1.24.00 in the firmware folder on the scanner SD card, then re-booting the scanner, it ignores the firmware update file and boots up as normal to 1.23.15 - This may be because sub 1.23.20 is not installed / in the firmware folder, but this is not available in the list of firmware files at http://info.uniden.com/twiki/bin/view/U ... wareUpdate
No big shakes as its running happily on the existing firmware, and not sure the new firmware brings much to the party. But never had any issue updating firmwares through Sentinel before.
