To share the benefits of a frustrating 5 months getting 302's, TRX's and
Oudie's to talk.....
You may well find that set up like this the 302 doesn't have enough umph to
drive the (new) Oudie with the brighter screen and you will get annoying
and seemingly random signal dropouts. You really need to get a separate
power supply in to that line - which I would think is a job for a pro.

A few things to consider -=20

1) If you use the 302 to Oudie direct cable, and, for any reason, your
302

loses power or needs to be turned off in flight, the Oudie will be forced
t=
o run on battery power. (About 2 hours with a full charge.) With direct
po=
wer from your glider battery source, that is not an issue.

2) The Oudie must be fully charged before being connected to the 302
direc=
t cable. The 302 does not like charging the Oudie's battery.

3)I have been struggling with routing the 302 - Oudie direct cable and
not
=
having it get bound up in the glare shield when you close the canopy.
(My
=
glare shield goes up and down with the canopy.) This isn't an issue when
y=
ou are sitting in the glider - you can route the cable as you lower the
can=
opy. It is an issue when you are outside of the glider and close the
canop=
y. (I'm not sure if the direct power cable is any better for this issue
as=
you still need to have the 302 - Oudie connection for data transfer.)

I am currently using the direct 302 - Oudie cable but might revert to the
s=
upplied cable due to the power issue. =20
