I've got my new Primetest 300 tester today. I was rather peeved to
discover is ONLY downloads via bluetooth. Having purchased a dongle it
refused to connect. The bluetooth manager would flash up a code for me
to use for a fraction of a second then tell me it had failed. I did some
digging and someone suggested installing blueman which worked wonderfully.
However once connected you must then right click and select connect to
serial service which connects the tester to /dev/rfcomm0. So far so
good, the problem is the connection times out shortly after but ubuntu
keeps that port open and I have no idea how to close it so have to
reboot as the tester refuses to accept that it is connected unless you
close and re-open that port. Also I am not able to do the download at
all. It just keeps telling me the connection has timed out.
Using a gtkterm I have monitored the port and three chunks of data are
transmitted by the tester before it gives up:
1T*YUPrimeTest 300W35-0504�1T*YUPrimeTest
300W35-0504�1T*YUPrimeTest 300W35-0504�
I can only assume it is expecting a response to this in order to confirm
the PC is receiving. Any ideas?

Sounds good. The tricky bit is they seem to have encrypted the results
There doesn't appear to be anything encrypted.
A newer '.sss' version (found packed inside a '.gar' container format)
does appear to have been obfuscated: adding/subtracting a certain
amount to each byte from the output of a xorshift PNR, seeded from the
file-headers supplied immediately before the compressed stream:

Obfuscation (as found here) is not encryption. But neither is ROT13
encryption either:
