I have a few questions regarding the USB port on the later Cambridge 302.
The Cambridge manual leaves much to be desired in explaining what it can
do.

Is the USB port supposed to supply power to a PDA or other device?

- No. The USB port is only for connection to a PC. The PC is the master
and the 302 is the slave. Since PDAs are generally also USB slaves, the 302
can't talk to them through the USB port.


Are you able to transfer files both ways with a PDA or PocketPC (logs and
waypoints, etc.) or does the port only work with a laptop?

- You can transfer files to and from a 302 using a PDA - but only when the
PDA is connected to the 302's RS-232 port (the one with the 9-pin
connector). The USB port works only with PCs.


What is the best way to use both the 303 and a PDA connected to the 302?

- Connect the PDA to the 9-pin (DB-9) port and connect the 303 to the RJ
(phone jack) port. They can both be used at the same time.
