When I plug in my SD card into a Valor ITS-710W it says bad card but it works fine in my computer.

What gives?

Has the card worked in the Valor unit before? Is it an HC SD card?

Its a 1 GB SD card

Have you tried reformating the Card?

There are two types of SD card: normal cards (SD) and the newer high-capacity cards (SDHC). To quote Wikipedia "The [SD] format has proven to be very popular. However, a change in the format, while allowing capacities greater than 4 GB (SDHC), has created compatibility issues with older devices which cannot read the new format. Since SDHC format cards have the same physical shape and form factor as the older format, this has caused considerable confusion for consumers."

I'm guessing:
1. You have a SDHC card
2. Your computer reads both SD and SDHC
3. Your radio only reads SD

It's a valor. That's my opinion as to why it doesn't work.
