Looking at the fora it looks as though the problem is that the aircable

the LX transmits at 4800 baud the bluetooth goes at 4800 baud which the

SNAFU!


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

The following would solve the problem:

You can use it to take the 4800 baud signal from the slow devices and
feed it out at 9600 or 19200 etc. *Not the cheapest little gadget but
does the job.

The spec on the web says it requires 5V but a friend of mine has one
which they made up for him which takes 8-16V as input. He uses it in his
glider to upscale a Colibri output from 4800 to 19200 to feed to his
Ipaq so he can switch between the Colibri and Flarm NMEA streams as the
Flarm only outputs the extra flarm data at 19200 or higher.
