Dick,
The flash card can be used to update the radio software/firmware without having to send it back for servicing. Less wear and tear on the radio and no down time.
I missed that one !
Never occurred to me My radios -all the 10 series and all the new 2.4 never saw servicing -except for one touch screen I got wet -ruined it.
It's easy to not have to use the update functionality if you like to keep buying radios every few years. All the 10 series and now the 9303 to get true non converted 2.4.......should have bought a 14mz. It would have been a lot cheaper and it would be as current today as a new one is.
