Hi all,hopes of some modern guidance:
It seems like all of the links I can find on this subject have since been relocated, and R.A.S's collective database of information seems outdated (see this thread: https://groups.google.com/g/rec.aviation.soaring/c/pqr-wM26Wt8), so I'm asking again in
1) I am looking to find the software required to run on my computer so that I can upload a new turnpoint database into the 302. It seems like I'll have to download something called the "Utility Program". Can someone point me to a working source? Whathardware will be most compatible to run this tool? Is there a more "modern" way of downloading turnpoints onto this instrument? (I do not have the USB/Serial adapter module)
2) It seems like a simple RJ-11 is all that is required to connect the 303 square display and have it powered by the 302. Any considerations here? I've noticed that some RJ-11 cables have the little ferrite cores on the ends. Are these important? Giventhat the two instruments are mounted side by side, I only need a short length of cable, It seems like most of these cables are quite long. Can I simply crimp a new plug onto the end of a shortened cable?
Any guidance on this subject is much appreciated as I'm looking to run this instrument as a backup final glide calculator.
Cheers,
Alex

Ah yes, this is the list I was searching for :) Thanks!Any guidance on this subject is much appreciated as I'm looking to run this instrument as a backup final glide calculator.

As noted above, the 303 does not load tasks or databases and does not download flights. It does do the Nav functions with the 302.Ah yes, this is the list I was searching for :) Thanks!Cheers,

SeeYou on your PC will upload and download nicely to the 302. The Utility program is for initial setup --- Name, Polar etc.
You'll need a USB to Serial converter. Not all of them are good! Tripp-Lite Keyspan has a good reputation and mine has been fine.

Another tip with the 302: Make Sure the same Static the ASI uses is the one connected to the 302.
YMMV
