“Is another program using the port? Quit Pocket-NAV to use this program” simply means that the 302 and your computer have failed to connect.
I assume that you are using a computer with a USB port, and a serial to USB converter. My experience was that it took me several tries to find a USB converter that would work with the 302. I strongly recommend the USB mod to the 302, and a remote USB port mounted on the instrument panel for easy down loads. On my Win XP machines, I use Com 2. On my Win 7 machine, I use "other" with "3" in the box. Why that works rather than just checking the com 3 box is well above my pay grade. Once you get connected, you will need to deal with "Crazy Mouse Syndrome". Windows often recognizes a GPS device as a mouse, sending your curser careening across the screen, rendering your computer unusable. That is an easy fix, Google is your friend here. Your next challenge, if you are using Win 7, is that a driver is needed. Be sure that you are connected to the internet so Windows can hunt it down for you and load it. Or wimp out and hit e-Bay for a legacy computer with a serial port. The only glitch I have ever had is that after trailering down rough dirt roads sometimes the plug for the temperature sensor will wiggle partly loose. When that happens, the system will freeze during boot up. Just turn it off, pull it out, and push it back in. P9 |

To my knowledge and recollection, the USB mod to the 302 was solely for software upgrades and input. Downloads through the USB port are not possible. I used a serial to Bluetooth adapter, but had to make my own cable. |

I have had very good luck using keyspan USB to serial adapters on WinXP, Win7 and Win10, both 32 and 64 bit with a variety of devices ranging from flight recorders (including the CAI302) to CISCO network switches and routers. It has been a while since i had to run the 302 utility but I am pretty sure it had to be executed with elevated privileges in Windows 7 or 10 (right click on the executable and run as administrator)
