    Default HB Software Update Question


    Both my Helix 10 Mega SI and Helix 12 Mega DI are on update v. 1.610. I want to download this version to card just to have it in library. Do I need to download v.1.610 to two individual cards , 1 for 10 and 1 for 12, or will 1 card work for both units?

    One card will work.

    Each unit will ignore a software version not specifically marked for that specific model ....so one could have multiple software versions for separate units on 1 card ...,

    But why risk it - SD cards are cheap ...

    What size card is needed for the updates? I've got to update my unit. HB said not larger than 32, but the lady I was talking to didn't say what the minimum size is.

    32gb max ...

    There's really not a minimum ... 2gb and 4gb cards are rare to even find anymore ... and 8gb seems to also becoming more rare ...

    16gb SanDisk at Walmart are running at close to $10 ... (HB recommends SanDisk brand) ...
