[quote="slick94prix"]Yeah, I could do it that way, but I mean, I dunno, I would rather just have something hand held.

BTW, how does the data from the aeroforce get onto your computer, if say your were datalogging?

I've also even considered picking up a use Palm Pilot off of ebay ($20-$40), and then try to find software to read, delete, datalog, etc.....[/quote

Have you looked for an LS1M? I think you have to buy used though.

Yep, and yes, you have to buy used unfortunately. All I need is the cable, the software is free, and Palm'* are dirt cheap.

whats the deal with all these cheap scan tools that don't do KR? How hard is it for these manufactures to program that into these things.

It'* pretty much just code, but they're a business, if they can find a way to make some extra money, they'll do it...
