Another CAI 302 Maitenance question
Hey T8 and maybe Dave Kinsell
I've removed my 302 from my plane for the winter. I understand I have to power it up once in awhile to keep the GPS engine charged. How often and for how long should I power it up? TIA T |

It's a tiny rechargeable battery you're recharging, so it will eventually wear out even with frequent recharging. I have more faith in the PF logger and use that, with the 302 left in the panel just for the variometer. Last I checked, the date was still correct. -Dave |

Send it to Gary Kammerer. ..... Caution! Attenzione! Vorsicht! PrecauciĆ³n! This involves spending money, which glider pilots are famous for avoiding. Jim |

Thanks for the responses. Wilco Craggy keeps bugging me to get a S 100 but my two 302's still work great and seem to suit my flying style. I had Gary Kammerer replace the GPS engine in one of them back in 2015, the other ones still seems OK with a good date lock. Cheers T |
