PX3 doesn't "seem" to have a size issue...  aka my 128M vs 16G thumb drive. As I said I would, I tried an SD card (Class 10 and 16G) with a USB interface. The SD card worked ("M" showed on the screen of the PX3) for both the USB2.0 and the USB3.0 interface device. SO, something is different

One thing you might try is use Windows disk management in the administrative tools section of control to partition the large thumb drive with a first fat32 partition that is 2 or 4 GB - if your whole drive is fat32 you should just be able to shrink it down to a size that may work.  If it isn't

It isn't a problem of file name..  The PX3 won't see the new thumb drives.  It reads the OLD drive just fine.  I don't have a problem with the name as I edit with the contest name in the filename and then copy/edit to the one the PX3 reads.  works great, except 16G drives - no go.  73

There was a bug in the last firmware update that has not been fixed. The file name that the PX3 saves the data to is different than the file name that it tries to read the data back in from. Until the firmware is corrected, you need to manually edit the saved file name to have it match the

I have read, tried, and still can't use a "modern" thumb drive (USB)... with my PX3 for data transfer. I have an OLD thumb drive that works in my PX3 firmware 1.48... I have a Targus.com M-Sys DiskOnKey 128M formatted as FAT32 that works. (yes, 128 mega...) I have a San Disk Ultra Fit FAT32
