I had a problem downloading a log from my 302 last Sunday (June 13).
Several attempts to download with utility 3UT15255 gave a transfer or
communication error (don't remember which). Still didn't work after
reset the PDA and power cycing the 302.

A free download utility is available on the IGC GNSS web site, as it is
for all types of IGC-approved GPS recorders. The program file for
downloading IGC files from the Cambridge 302 is DATACAM2.exe
(DATA-CAM.exe is for the legacy models 10, 20 and 25)..

Try www.fai.org/gliding/software/gps/pc/cam.zip

DATACAM2 works OK with my syndicate's 302 using a laptop and a RS232
9-pin connector which we have available in the glider as well as the
plug to the palmtop. We have fixed a permanent RS232 cable to the back
of the 302 to avoid the need to get at the back of the panel-mounted 302
unit each time that we download. We can therefore either download via
the RS232 connector, or into the palmtop. Both systems work but
personally I normally use an old laptop and the IGC-standard RS232
download connector.
