Title: YAesu FT-710 SD error
Post by: KC3TWX on January 15, 2023, 11:10:44 AM: I am attempting to update my FT -710 firmware. The sd card formats normally in my PC, but when inserted into the radio I get an sd card error message. Does anyone have any ideas about what's going on? I have disconnected all USB connections as well as my external monitor.

3. Copy the firmware to an SD card that has been previously formatted in the FT-710.
Note: Copy the file directly under the “FT-710” folder. Do not copy it into the “Capture”, “MemList” “Menu” or “PlayList” folder. If the file is copied to a location other than under the “FT-710” folder, the FT-710 cannot be updated, as it will not recognize the file.
The folder configuration on the SD card formatted with FT-710 is shown below.
