Do you have the switch in the correct position on the back of the 302.
Slide it towards the connection type that you're using. Either towards
the serial port or towards the USB port.

I just tried to connect to a *friends 302 via a serial cable and port on
the computer (IBM thinkpad running XP) and using SeeYou older editon at
least 5 years Old. Using connection wizard under files in seeyou, I get
connected and see all of the log files (7 or so) on the screen. Our
original intent was to delete the files so it would not be overwriting and
not giving a OLC valid file when he downloaded his log from the connected
PDA. First it does not have a "delete" option and second it locks up
while trying to "download" *any flight log. Now it was VERY hot out
yesterday while we were trying this and my computer was acting up so we
quit. But I have a few questions, should the seeyou software be able to
delete the files after downloading and two should he be having a
validation problem if the 302 is overwriting its full memory? And three
can the memory be full after just 7 flights?

302 memory never fills up it wraps and records for ever and ever and
ever.

However the 302 will sometimes give a file security error. It is now
widely believed that this error is caused at the time the recording
wraps back to the begining of memory.

Email me off group for help in clearing logs. However now the error is
happened it won't happen again until the memory wraps the next time so
no real need to do anything now.
