Sale Items
New but Outdated and/or Slightly Used Items
Overview
I do my best to keep a good stock of the latest high-tech gadgets. But
yesterdays latest toy is out of date today and worth less than when it
was new. The page includes a combination of new but slightly out of
date items and a used items.
My plan is to keep reducing the prices on
this page until all the items sell. The items will sell to the first person
that orders them at the listed price. Please don't contact me with offers.
The longer you wait, the lower the prices, but I have only 1 or 2 of most
items - so if you wait too long someone will buy the item you are interested
in before you.
Limited Availability
The items on this page are all units in my stock. When they are sold
the price is no longer available. I cannot order additional units for
sale at these liquidation prices.

RAM-HOL-CO3P |
Powered Cradle
for iPAQ 2200 Series Pocket PCs
Input power can be provided to the power connector, or to pin 9 (+)
and pin 5 (-) on the DB-9m connector. Accepts 12 to 28 VDC power
and supplies 5 VDC power to the iPAQ.
Important Note: Since the internal power
converter is quite noisy it is not recommended for use in sailplanes
because it will interfere with the aircraft radio. The optional
Goddard Modification (see details below) eliminates that problem by
adding a cable that exits the back of the cradle and removing the
cradle's internal power converter.
Mounting holes on the back are for use
with any diamond shaped base plate - like the
RAM-A-238,
RAM-B-238, RAP-B-238
or RAM-GN-238.
Important Note: To place the iPAQ
into the cradle first insert the top of the iPAQ into the top of the
cradle and slide the top of the cradle up. Then swing the base of
the iPAQ into the cradle and carefully lower it onto the power/data
connector. Remove it by first lifting the iPAQ up and then
swinging the base of the iPAQ out of the cradle. It would be
easy to damage the power/data connector in the cradle or the iPAQ by
trying to insert the power/data connector into the iPAQ before placing
the iPAQ flush against the back of the cradle or by removing the top of
the iPAQ while the power/data connector is still engaged in the iPAQ.

Optional Goddard Cradle Modification - $79 (modification) + $42 (cradle)
= $121 -
Highly recommended for use in sailplanes
Goddard has now made available a service for
modifying RAM powered PDA cradles so that the
cable exits the back of the cradle and the noisy internal
power converter is removed. The RAM-HOL-CO2P, CO3P and CO4P
cradles are nice, but the standard connection with the cable connector
on the bottom of the cradle is not ideal. Connecting a cable with
a DB-9 connector to the bottom of the unit makes for less room in a
cramped glider cockpit and the connector interferes with your leg in
flight. Also, the internal 12V to 5V power converter has proven to
be too noisy for use in sailplanes because it interferes with the
aircraft radio. Since there is no connection for 5V power on the
bottom connector, the cradle must be modified for use in a glider.
The modified cradle setup makes for a very clean installation.
Since the internal power converter is removed, 5V power must be provided
to the cradle from a Cambridge
302, 302A or
Goddard PS-5a. To connect to any
of those devices you will want to order the DB-9m connector option.
To connect to a Cambridge CAA-127
57 mm adapter plate you will want to order the RJ connector option.
I will try to keep a few units with DB-9m connectors and 1m cables in
stock. Otherwise the lead-time for the modification is 2 to 3
weeks. Assembly Photos
The assembly instruction manual I received was for a RAM-HOL-CO2P which
is a bit different than the RAM-HOL-CO3P so I have taken the assembly
photos below to aid you in the assembly process. Click on the images to
