ILEC File Transfer with Pocket PC

Hi Kirk,

We must be doing something differently because it didn't work well for you
and worked great for me. On Saturday I download a friends flight log from
his SN-10b using my iPAQ 3970 with PocketDOS and the HL utility from ILEC.
It worked perfectly. It downloaded the flight log in only about 1 to 2
minutes. However, the SN-10 then seemed to "think" for several minutes, but
eventually the SN-10 reported that the transfer was successful. My iPAQ
3970 is basically the same as the 3950 you are using.

Perhaps something was set differently in Pocket DOS? I tested PocketDOS
without buying a license initially but later bought a license. I think it
cost around $35. Without the license the software has some delays at
startup and other differences. Could that be the problem?

Hi Kirk,

I'm sorry to hear it is not working for you. My testing is limited
because
I don't have any large flight logs in my SN10 units. I'll do my best to
try
it with a friends unit soon.

I was able to download small flight logs just fine using an iPAQ 3970. I
guess more testing is needed.

Thanks,

Paul Remde

I went out and tried this procedure using an Ipaq 3950 and it didn't
work worth a can of beans. I only tried downloading a flight log from
my SN10B. Running PocketDOS and getting the SN10 to recognize the HL
file transfer program worked fine, but as soon as I started to
download the flight log it was apparent that the speed of the download
was INCREDIBLY SLOW! I could live with that, but after a few minutes
of uninterrupted downloading, the connection would self disconnect,
and I would have to start all over again. After fooling around for
about an hour, and only getting 33% of the flight log (a 4 hour
flight) downloaded before it aborted, I quit.

So, am I missing something?

Is there a setting in PocketDOS (or the PDA) that will make the file
transfer faster?

What could be causing the connection to be interrupted? Once I start
it, I walk away and don't touch a thing!

Are there some weird problems with the 3950 that I don't know about?
Mine refuses to format or read SD cards, could that mean that the PDA
is bad?

Has anyone else had any luck with this, or similar problems?

Paul,

Not sure. I also bought the license, so it should be the same setup.
Like I said, I couldn't use the SD card, and that could be part of the
problem. I might play with it this winter some more.
