Default problems with downloading flights from 302

I currently download my flights using 3UTPC256 which creates an IGC file. I
am applying for a state record on one of my flights and we sent the flight

send him a CAI file which he claims is more secure. Can someone help me
figure out how to get this flight off of my 302 in CAI. PS: i have SEE-
YOU installed on the lap top and it puts an icon before the IGC file name
on every flight I download. Thanks.

There is no such thing as a CAI file on the 302. *It produces IGC
natively.

And the IGC file produced from a 302 is actually more secure than
anything out of a Model 20/25 etc that produces a CAI file. The record
keeper simply validates a C302 file with the valicam2.exe file (not
the valicam that is for the Mode 20/25 etc.).

They probably just made a slip thinking this was an older Cambridge
(but I'd have hoped they look at the log file header etc. to be sure).
