Default XCSoar Questions

Stefan,

As mentioned earlier, I'm currently using LK8000 on an iPAQ 4700. I'm using
both a cable and Bluetooth serial connections. The cable is from my GPS (in
the future PowerFLARM) and data from my Borgelt B-50 is transmitted via
Bluetooth.

The Bluetooth interface used with the B-50 was purchased from Paul.
(http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/k6.htm) So far I haven't had any problems
with either battery life, or interference.

I am not a big fan of bluetooth in this application due to concerns about
power draw and interference. Probably these are overblown concerns on my
part, but for "mission critical" connections, I really prefer a cable.
