Bummer.  Some of their units show up as a disk that you can just copy files
from, IIRC.

Googling around, I don't see any software that supports this thing and no
hint of a protocol spec from the vendor.  So it's probably up to some
enterprising individual with hardware and desire to reverse engineer the
protocol spec and/or implement it in GPSBabel.  Sorry.

(I wish someone would get all these data logger guys together and bang their
heads until they quit re-inventing this particular wheel.   The explosion of
incompatible products in the logger market really is unfortunate...)
