sir jasper Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 My just out of warranty Foxpro Spitfire's micro SD card has expired so the unit is mute. Does anyone have a cheap solution to this problem - I understand that the card carries the serial No. so a simple copy from another unit may not work... help...please...

J_Edwards Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 If your issue is that your card doesn't work, and you now don't have any calls to play through your caller, then just buy another SD card from Argos, download some calls from the internet, and put them on your new card. Problem solved for about £7 I can't find much info on the Spitfire, but given that it has memory access on the rear, I presume that it is programmable with your own calls, like most FoxPros and ICOtecs are, so the above solution would be best. If it isn't programmable, like the ICOtec 300, then you'll probably need another caller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Edwards Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 If I'm not mistaken, the FoxPros have their own format, known as an FXP file. It could be some sort of revenue protection, forcing you to get the calls from them, rather than downloading them from the internet, which wouldn't surprise me. For the ICOtec, you had rename them all as 001, 002 etc for them to work. It could be something to do with that. Obvously not the same issue, but an issue with the way the device reads the files.

steve_b_wales Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I did a copy of the calls (all British) I have on my Spitfire, for a PW member, and they worked well. I'm happy to do this for you if you send me two micro SD cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis1979 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yes worked fine thanks, has accounted for quite a few this year. I think it will come into it's own in the colder months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
