Hi Bill,

I must be missing something. If the VL has its comm port set to 4800 baud,
or even 19,200 baud, how can a high speed comm port speed up downloads? My
experience with RS-232 serial communications is that 4800 to 19200 baud is
about as fast as it can go without errors, depending on the cable length.
Sync-serial communications can be much faster but most devices don't support
that. I'm very curious.

Sincerely,

Paul Remde

Thanks for the comments, Ian. I am aware of the two modes and use the
fast unsecure method for casual flights. I have been using ConnectMe
to download secure logs from my Volkslogger since participating in the
OLC and have previously had no problems. In this case, there does
appear to be a problem with my file and maybe the issue is not the OLC.

It is frustrating, though, having made a great flight and having to
spend longer downloading and fixing the log than the flight time!
Clearly the security issues are causing more problems than they were
designed to prevent. Like many other glider pilots, I wonder how many
bogus logs there are and even if it would be possible to get away with
one, given so many people watching the forum?

Mike, as I mentioned in another post, I just bought a new and expensive
($70) high-speed serial port card for my new winXP desktop. Secure
Volkslogger files now download in seconds using SeeYou and no problems (so
far) with the OLC.
