Never mind. I refined my Google search and was covered up with sources for the
install manual.

I didn't have any luck when I checked, so inquiring if anyone has a link to (or
willing to sell) an M3 Approach GPS install manual. Yes, yes, I know. Its a
boat-anchor, but its an excellent DME.

I've spent two days searching the Europa archives for a solution to this
problem with no success. I found several discussions about RFI and the
trim indcator, but no solutions. I looked under RFI, trim indicators,
PTT, radio transimissions, and a host of other topics.
Can you be more specific as to the solution or the topic of possible
solutions?
Thanks,

1.30 UNDISC_RECIPS Valid-looking To "undisclosed-recipients"
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Charlie England <ceengland@bellsouth.net>
Has anyone successfully used one of the GPS engines powered through the
USB cable with an iPaq?
Comp USA has a DeLorme 12 channel WAAS NMEA GPS that's both powered &
talks through a USB port for around $80. This seems to be a pretty good
deal if it will work with the iPaq & the street software would be
lagniappe.
I'll probably buy AnywhereMap software to run on it.
Thanks,
Charlie

When I asked that question in another place and time, I was advised that
it was not currently possible. Something about the signals in the USB
world are quite different than those required by Ipaq [which is a type
of RS232]. If you find differently, please let us know. Earl

I don't know what kind of interface an Ipaq has, but I do know about
RS232 and USB.
RS232 is old-school stuff -- relatively slow, no software component, no
power supply. Lot's of hacks and variations.
USB is a complicated beast... it provides +5V power as well as
high-speed serial comms. The +5V supply is regulated and
current-controlled... you can short out the red & black wires on a USB
cable and nothing bad will happen. There's rules for discovering new
devices when they connect, and for sharing the bandwidth. All this means
that it's not easy to add USB to an existing device, and practically
impossible to roll-your-own.
So, if the Ipaq doesn't already have a USB port, then Charlie is out of
luck. Even if it has a USB interface, I expect (I'm not totally sure
about this -- if it's important to you, check it out with someone who
*is* sure) it'll be the wrong kind... a peripheral device that sucks
power from a PC rather than one that can supply power to another device.
You can get an RS232-to-USB interface, but that's back-to-front from
what Charlie wants. You plug it into the USB port of your PC, and it
provides a serial port to talk to your out-of-date-but-still-needed
RS-232 device.
I think that Bluetooth is a more likely connectivity solution for
palmtop devices than USB... There's plenty of Bluetooth GPS receivers
available -- see http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/menu_gpshardware3.php for
example.
