Finally got a chance to pull my glider out and test the 302 today. I don't have a 303 anymore and use the 302 as my backup logger and vario so don't look at the files very often.

Using the Cambridge Utility on my iPAQ, I checked the files and there were files from July through September showing, but my last two flights in October and November were not listed at all.

I switched over to ConnectMe and it did not show all the flights back to July, but did show two flights from 1995, not a good sign.

If you are checking the files use ConnectMe to look for the miss dated files, you may not see them with the Cambridge utility program.

Mine 30checks out OK for now its COJH and I don't know how old it is. What should I be doing...plug iy\t in every few weeks? send it out even if its ok?

Any way I can find out its age?

I don't see much future in the recharge-frequently option. Once
batteries start to fail, they go downhill rapidly.

If you intend to use it long-term, I'd say go ahead and send it in.

If anyone missed the richard@craggyaero posting recently, it has lots of
good info on any logger using the Garmin GPS25 module.
