Thanks in advance.

If you want to connect to a 302 carefully check the lowest baud rate
supported by the PNA serial interface. *The 302 defaults to 4800
baud. *If the PNA does not support that baud rate you will find it
difficult to interface with it.

I have a project, currently on hold, to build a "dongle" that
automatically sets the 302 to a higher baud rate every time it powers
up. *I'll get back to it at the end of the racing season when I can
put the 302 on the bench.

You will find a lot of discussion of PNAs including 5 inchers on the
Post Frontal LK8000 website.

Andy,

Are you going to intercept "baud change commands" from the various
software programs that interface with the 302 and follow them?
Otherwise your bootup speed will only be viable in NMEA stream mode.
Any other interaction like task updloads, log xfers, etc will probably
hose things up.

I also have a project going with a programmable blue tooth adapter
that does the same thing. All the silly baud rate switching that's
done with the 302 makes this a bit complicated though. I've written my
own version of the 300 utility for the 302 using this BT adapter and
it behaves just fine at a constant "higher" baud rate. It also streams
NMEA data just fine at high baud rates to See You Mobile. Not sure why
Cambridge did that other than maybe some kind of legacy support.

Mike, Sorry for the thread hi-jack. Andy brings up an interesting
topic.
