I have a KLN 89/B and I put the wrong DBkey in the first time I used it.
I called Honeywell and they gave me a free extesnion to my subscription
and I just downloaded a new request using the correct DBkey. I didn't
wind up having a useless card. Now if I could only take the card and
program it and not have to take a laptop to the plane.


I didn't mean to imply that you couldn't reprogram the card with a
working database having a proper key.

And you can take the card and program it - get the reader from
Honeywell and flash it at home. Course, going to airport, get card,
go home, flash, go back to airport, install, watch it download for 15
minutes gets old. Spare cards are pricey. It would be much easier if
they just made a way for people to initialize their own cards from
scratch, but there's no profit in that for them.
