@briscoetab it is certainly defective, it isn't working out of the box. But I think it's more than a one-off bad unit. I think there's a batch issue. No one I've talked to with newer units has an SD card that works. But I haven't talked to everyone with a newer one, of course.
They have made some detrimental decisions regarding their CS. In time, it won't pay off for the company. Historically, CS is high or the company sells off and becomes "cheap."
I am doing load development on 8 rifles and am tying to be done by Sept 1 (Hunts coming up). I don't like to do development through hunting season as I shoot where I hunt. I don't have a very local place to shoot, so I devote full days to shooting, but then have to go home to load more for retesting. I have a very extensive, very exact process that takes considerable rounds and time. In short, shooting time is valuable to me.
My startup screen does show those values you mentioned as the firmware model.
I got that new card today that is the exact model LR sales, so I'll try it tonight after some driving time.
