302 Problem

Roy Bourgeois wrote in message ...
Funny - this happened to me for the first time today. I use the CAI Utility
program (3UT152353) The download "stalled" after 38 blocks of 145. I then
got a "com port in use" message - even though I had quit palm nav. Finally
solved the problem by hitting the handy "reset" button on the back of the
Compaq Aero (with all programs off) and then tried the utility program
again. Second try worked fine.

Don't worry about your 500km flight - it's 'In there' - you just need to
extricate it.
Congratulations, BTW

I had a contest flight in Minden that I had the same problem with. It
stalled early and I was never able to get it out of the box using my
ipaq. I tried several other peoples ipaqs and that didn't work either.
No big deal as I was in last place. Never did get that flight out.
(I never got out of Hawthorne on that flight either. It was a day of
nevers)

Did you try transferring it to a PC? Apparently, succeeding flights were
transferred without problems, correct?

Yes that is correct, I have only had that problem on one occasion.
Since that time the flights have downloaded fine. I did not try with
a PC because I would have to take the 302 out of the ship and that is
too much work.

I tried a few of the suggestions but no luck, it was Friday the 13th.
Tommorrow I will try doing it with the PC but I think it is some kind
of lapse in the 302. I had a nice flight and I will be happy with
that.

There is an option to download the entire memory, and then Cambridge
might be able to recover it from that. I suggest contacting them to see
if it's worth a try.

I had exactly the same problem yesterday during the contest in Uvalde.
In my case, the download would stop after 57 blocks out of 227.
Luckily there were people on the site that knew what to do. I needed
to upgrade the 302 to the latest firmware available from
www.cambridge-aero.com. That fixed the problem. The upgrade utility
for iPaq did not work for me, so I had to do the upgrade from my
laptop through a serial cable.

Wiktor is correct. I went to the web site and reloaded the 302. The
flight was transferred correctly after that. I don't think it matters
whether you use a pc or pda but you do need the current software!
