Default PDR non-function
My PDR says no disc inserted when there is one inside. I usually switch one out with another one when I get back from the track, but neither of them work. Any ideas?

Make sure the card isn't in the locked position.

You mean the little tab on the disc? isn't that what holds the disc in the adapter?

It has to be formatted properly too.

Format FAT32 is required for C7.

I had switched mine to the locked position and got the same message. Once I "unlocked" the SD card, it was fine (just like the image above). Take a look at yours, could be what's causing your message too.

SanDisk is the only one that has worked best for me. Other brands can be iffy. Also check that it’s class10.

Given the OP indicates he uses two cards and swaps one for the other, I assume these cards previously worked and were formatted correctly. He is also using an adapter.

Thus I conclude the lock tab on the adapter is in the lock position and needs to be moved to the unlock position to solve the problem.

Now we need to hear from the OP to learn if this worked.

Elk, that was it ! I thought that that the tab just locked the disc into the adapter but I moved it up and now it works. Now all I need is a laptop so I can explore the programming in the disc. I believe that it will open up a new world.
Thanks again, Russ

Kidding aside, glad it was just that and it worked out.
