G'Day Ralf:
Thanks for your considered replies.  I'm using an iPAQ h 2115 at the moment 
which does have Bluetooth.   Haven't tried it yet and I'm a bit wary of 
possible interference from airport radar etc in an aircraft and 
interference to other devices in the aircraft, but it is certainly worth 
looking into.   Don't know till you try things.   Thanks for the TDK 
suggestion  - depends on price.  I would need one of these adapters for 
each device.

Thanks for your considered replies.  I'm using an iPAQ h 2115 at the
moment which does have Bluetooth.   Haven't tried it yet and
I'm a bit wary of possible interference from airport radar etc in an
aircraft and interference to other devices in the aircraft, but it is
certainly worth looking into.   Don't know till you try
things.   Thanks for the TDK suggestion  - depends on
price.  I would need one of these adapters for each device.<br>

For your serial data sources => you may use a module that does a

Software on your PDA will let you set up multiple serial connections over
<br>
Bluetooth in parallel (at least with a PDA running Linux and the Bluez BT
<br>
stack). Your application on the PDA can then individually cope with the
<br>
data coming from each source.<br><br>
Maybe that is an approach for you.<br>
