Title: Can I bring the unit in the house to perform upgrades?
Post by: Bossman on March 17, 2011, 11:32:43 PM

Hi , I was wondering if you can bring the 898cSI into the house and connect directly to the PC for updates?

You will also need the cable to connect the unit to the pc....Chuck

If you have 2 units, can you put the software for both units in the same SD Card?  Will the units know the difference? 

Also, I have seen that I should use a smaller SD card for updating programming on the units?  Is this right?

I would not do this as we have had some reports of this not working correctly.  I would only have the single software update needed for one unit at a time on the memory card.

A smaller memory card can be used as the updates are not that large.  I still use a 16MB MMC card (don’t laugh as it still works!) to update my units.

Definately only put on one update at a  time on an card.
The unit loading can get quite confused if a particular update is on the card that is not for the unit...
