    I had previously performed a Restore Defaults and Memorize Sensors, when it was mandatory to do so a couple of updates back. When I performed the Restore Defaults and Memorize Sensors late last night, the Configuration Settings reverted back to the Default settings, as they are supposed to do. When I went to download all four files again, the only file that was actually loaded was, most likely, my Configuration with the 3 Profiles A/B/C, as I did hear a Data Stored message a few seconds after inserting the USB flash drive into the system's USB port, for the second time.
    We changed the settings file with the addition of the Net Radar and additional future additions and the check failed when the ALP checked the installed configuration file to see if it was the right format. The Error clearly tells you this and it does not say that the firmware failed only that there was a CRC Checksum error (Because old config file is loaded) and tells you to run a Factory Reset to load a new default Configuration file or you can load a new custom Configuration file with your updated settings.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.
