Whistler TRX-1 - Nothing to Scan

My year old scanner was working fine, but after plugging it into another laptop and running the desktop application (TRX-1Install_3.35.0.675.exe) , I got the "Nothing to Scan" message on the handheld scanner.  This occurred after updating the PC application with a library import and using the handheld scanner to select objects to scan.

Apparently, in playing around with the desktop app, I corrupted the SD card.  Luckily, I had previously backed up the SD card contents.

Anyway, I figured that the "Nothing to scan" message had something to with the scanner not being plugged into the original PC and desktop app configuration that set up the scanner a year ago.

I decided to start over by turning off the handheld and plugging it into the new PC.

After starting the desktop application installed from TRX-1Install_3.35.0.675.exe ( there is also a setup.exe on the SD card), I performed a library update as follows:

Then I reformatted the SD card with options to reconfigure.

 

After the reformat and reconfiguration of the SD card, I turned to setting a V-scanner folder with the following options

After this was set, I closed the desktop application and safely ejected the handheld scanner, which is essentially just the SD card.

 Now when I "Browse Library" looking for objects to scan and assign to Scanlist 001, the scanner scans the imported frequencies just fine.

Whatever I did fixed something.

Now, my main concern is that the back up of the original SD card does not match the current SD card contents, but I won't worry about this unless the scanner stops working.

The new SD card does not contain the setup.exe software for the desktop application, but I can always get it up from https://whistlergroup.com/pages/trx-1-downloads-1
