Default iPAQ 310 serial

Looking at the fora it looks as though the problem is that the aircable
mini uses the same baud rate for serial and bluetooth ports. Therefore as
the LX transmits at 4800 baud the bluetooth goes at 4800 baud which the
HP3xx interprets as gobbledegook.

SNAFU!

Still looking for a cable solution? or a Baud rate converter?

Yes. I have an Aircable Mini and was able to make it pair and talk
successfully to the HP310/314 from my PC GPS simulator.

Unfortunately when I hooked it up in the glider to my LX160 it would not
talk to that properly so the HP got gobbledegook.

Have put it on the back burner as a winter project.

BTW I am very interested in the serial port stuff as this would

definately
be a better way to go for a permanent installation.

Can anyone point me at a document that describes the port,

specifications,
and / or functionality?
