Get one of these:http://www.frontx.com/pro/p1011_036.html

Oudie will hopefully display (nearly instantaneous)
IGC file download progress information.

Hope that helps,

I have a brick and I still can't update a config file or firmware with
this cable because I don't see the LED on the unit. I actually need to
take off the canopy. Is there solution to this problem coming?
Shouldn't a display show this LED status through the communication
protocol. This a big pain in the rear end.


Firmware _updates_ are rare, so that is a small inconvenience. Updating
the config file doesn't need any LED watching. It's not an "update", it
just reads a tiny file into the box. Just leave the USB stick in the
unit all the time, and it will read the file automatically in a fraction
of second as it starts up - no need to monitor it.
