Thumb drive USB format

[lalnaes]

I´ve been having intermittent issues when loading files to my SkyView 10´displays from a USB stick. What is the recommended or required format for the thumb drive (FAT, FAT16, FAT32 or NTSF)?

I had issues using the thumb drive that came from Dynon. Sometimesmit worked, more often not. Switched to another one and no more problems. An easy place to start before messing with formats, etc.

Same as Burt. Formatting will not resolve the issues you are having.
I'm using a standard USB stick and it has work without fail. Never formatted

The drive needs to be FAT formatted, not NTFS. FAT 12, 16, or 32 should all work. Bad formatting won't cause intermittent issues though, it just flat out won't work. A different USB drive is a good idea to start.

Are you using the white thumb drive ?

The newer "Kingston" labeled thumb drives we have been shipping the past year are much better than the previous white and silver thumb drives.
