Paul,

Here's the deal: the back of my Ipaq 3950 says 5VDC, 2 amps.

The 302 docs tell us we are limited to 0.9 amp out of the 302.

You, and others, have led us into a marginal solution. I think you
ought to quit doing that :-).

I have about 500 hours of *mostly* trouble free PDA operation off my
302... because I *mostly* remember to have the the PDA at full
charge. I've sometimes forgotten (mostly during a two day drive
somewhere) and then had mysterious problems with the 302 (mostly 1200
miles from home).

The back of my 3850 also says 5 vdc, 2 amps, but in 1200 hours/250
flights of use, I've never had a problem with it and my 302. At home, it
goes from the charging stand to the glider, but while traveling, it can
be 4 or 5 or more days between flights - still no problem.

Maybe my 3850 doesn't draw as much as a 3950, maybe your 3950 has a
battery problem so it's getting too low, too quickly, maybe there is a
problem with your 302 - can't tell - but I would not conclude it's a
marginal solution.
