Default Cambridge data port pins

It turned out that my problem was not the cables, or the PDA, or the
302. Just another one of those inexplicable incompatibilities of the
Cambridge PDA utility. Attempting to download either of my flights
from April 5 will cause the utility to exit and lockup the 302 so it
does not transmit GPS data. Downloading any other flights stored in
the 302 works just fine. Cycling 302 power restores normal operation
as long as those 2 flights are not selected for download. Same effect
seen with 2 different PDAs and 2 different cables, and is repeatable
but not 100%. I did get lucky, but only once, and was able to
transfer the flight logs.
