CAI 302; slow download of flight log

Hi all, I downloaded a 4hr 30' flight from the 302 to my PC for the
first time & it took 1hr 10'. I see from previous discussion the baud
rate should increase significantly when downloading flight logs, but
apparently it didn't in this case. Any advice on how to fix this will
be appreciated. Thanks, *Bill

I have never timed a 302 log download. I'd guess that for a 5 hour
flight it takes about 5 minutes. I use my Aero 1530 with the
Cambridge utility for download and have never tried it with a PC. The
nice thing about the 302 is that you never need to take a PC to the
glider, or to take the 302 to a PC.

I can't say for sure that the baud rate does not change during
download but I never heard that before.

BTW the user port specification refers to transfer of 302 log to the
user's device as upload not download. It includes this advice:

"Note: When using this mode at baud rates of 19200 and higher, use of
the
echoing feature is recommended.:

That suggests to me that the log transfer is made at whatever baud
rate the 302 has been set to. The 302 defaults to 4800 baud but the
rate can be changed by any interfacing device. It will always revert
to 4800 next time it powers up.

What PC software are you using for the log transfer?
