The Silentflight has the same ports as the eBay system mentioned
above. *USB in both cases with is a "COM" port.

The issue with connecting to a 302 may be baud rate. *I am
experimenting with an HP310 PNA. It does not support the default 302
baud rate, and LK8000 does not (yet) provide the capability to switch
the 302 to a compatible baud rate.

The next question would be - how does the GPS engine if the
Silentflight PNA perform in steeply banked thermal flight. *The HP 310
is worthless although it works fine in cruise.

Andy, if the PNA's baud rate can be set by XCSoar it should work?

With my IPAQs there has never been a problem connecting the 302A with
XCSoar, which I would use. Seems if Al can connect to other
Cambridges, the 302A should, just wondering how the cable works.
