At this point I would get another SD card.? It is the cheaper of the two devices to swap out.

I would try 2 things:
1 - On the PC with the SD card inserted: Go into disk manager and verify that there are no hidden partitions on the SD card (I had this problem, even after formatting, as the hidden partition was still there and the Nextion cannot deal with multiple partitions)
2 - Get and use the SD Card Formatter.? It is free on line from the SD consortium.

If the Nextion still does not see the card, then your only choice is to get another card, or another Nextion.? Just being able to read the SD card in the PC does not mean that the card is OK to use in the Nextion (They must have a really poor interface driver).?

Above worked for me, YMMV

That is interesting on the kt100 ldg tuner. I was given a presumably working ldg yt100 and and can't get it to do a thing as far as semi auto tuning.Tried cw tx wit hthe fcn button held down. The red light flashes at about 4 hz but never get any other sounds of relays and the red light light never quits flashing. 

Any ideas?

With just that last file, it should work. Might be a bad sd...but, your computer sees it. Odd

Can you send a screen shot of what you have on the sdcard?

Here is mine...I have a handful of files on the sdcard, but the nextion will only read the top one cause it's .tft

I changed the others to xtft or oldtft. The nextion should skip over it.

fat32 on a 16 GB micro SD, I tried 8k 16k 32k segments. I have the enhanced 3.5. I tried both basic &
enhanced files .tft . The device states "no found file".
I ordered a new 16 GB micro SD getting it tomorrow.
I'm trying to figure out how to mount the face plate in my Bridgeport milling machine to fit the Nextion 3.5.
Thanks again for your help. Laddie

I formatted mine fat32. Did u copy the tft or hmi? ?Is your nextion an enhanced version or basic? If basic, get gthe basic version of the tft.

A new rig can sound different. I doubt you did anything to calibration by accident. Learn how the menus work on your own for all but calibration. Do listen to different bands. Enjoy the rig a bit before concluding anything is amiss. Since you and I didn't solder all these parts, I doubt there are any solder issues.

I use my 817 with the uBitx. I press and hold the tune button until it goes into the tune mode and then I just say “oooooooooooooo” into the microphone and watch it tune up. If you’ve never tuned that particular antenna you may say “oooooooooooo” until you almost run out of breath but it will tune. Once you tune around on a few bands, the memory tune is pretty quick. Never tried tuning with CW but I suspect it would work just the same.?

Well, I connected my windom antenna heard some 40 meter cw, but I also heard some things like birdies and so my first thought would be to check for cold solders, shorten up wire runs, and twist cables to minimize noise pickup. I stumbled into the menu, and I hope I didn't mess something up...got a message of "calibration? set!" But I have no idea how I got there, or w hf at I did.? Stock firmware as shipped on raduino...no mods yet.
