I bought my glider with an LX5000 logger. I know that nothing has been updated for at least 5 years as far as the database. Do I delete the database that is already on the logger and then just copy a new USA database? Or do I download the new database? Will it overwrite what is already there or...

I am curious what people are using for downloading .igc files from the LX5000 which will validate in WinScore. I have used my old laptop's serial port, SeeYou software, downloading directly onto a diskette, and it does not validate. This hasn't been a problem in past contests (even one Nationals)...

Hi, I'm going to have a LX5000 FAI. The whole point of the following questions is to know whether I should keep my Volkslogger or not: I have an IPAQ with Winpilot. Can you correct me if I'm wrong, add your comments / experience on the subject:

LX5000 by LX Navigation, including various, iPaq adaptor, and lots of ipaq PDAs of various vintages. Powers up and functions as far as I can tell. but If you have issues, I will buy it back (minus postage). If interested, make me an offer. matt (at) digital shorts (dot) com. Matt

Is there an FAQ or list of How-To's somewhere for the LX5000? I've RTFM'd, but while the manual gives a decent overview of the user interface, it doesn't go into much detail at all on how to do things like prepare tasks and then use the LX5000 to fly tasks. When I google this I only get references...

I declared a task on my LX5000 and after I downloaded the flight to my SeeYou program, I get File integrity: Unknown? and Declaration is NOT VALID! I am not getting any Security Seal warning messages. The declared task is displayed on SeeYou and when you go to OLC, it shows that my IGC file is...

Hi all. I have a doubt which is very dumb, but i don't quite know how to find this out. I got a LX5000 coming with a glider, no manual nothing. I got the manual from the web, but i also saw there are several models. My doubt is if it is IGC approved or not, and i've seen there is an IGC and a non...

My LX5000 is starting to freak out. It gives "BAD GPS' messages with frequency, has given up on the initialization process entirely because it thinks it's always in flight. And the traces, when there are traces are a scribble of zigs and zags, although the general directions and positions are...

Anyone have this issue - the cruise/climb switch on my LX5000 does not change the setting any more (vario stuck in cruise), the auto settings do not work. The switch itself is working so this has to be a software issue. Any ideas on how to fix it.

Hi, i just sold my LX20 and am in the process of making my LX5000 FAI capable.An option is to upgrade it to version 9.xx. Both options are expensive , about 750 euro together. This V9.xx allows to couple the device fully with winpilot. Any experience around with 9.xx ?

Since I’m on a tear asking things I always wondered about (it’s snowy here) I’ve always wondered what the difference is between the last version of the LX5000 and the LX7000? Was it a marketing decision or were there actual improvements?

Hi again, Yep,I am trying to get these two %%#^&*@&&#**&(@# things to communicate. Correct sentenses GPGGA, GPRMC, GPLX1, and LXWP_. are set. 4800 baud, winpilot serial port connected to the NMEA input.output cables, GPS signal comes in fine in the Winpilot 4.61 Pro Then I try to download a...

I have a very strange interference problem with my LX5000 and Becker AR4201 radio: when I transmit, the LX5000 changes pages, menus and inputs on its own. The funny thing is that if I hold the PTT and keep silent, nothing happens: problems come when I start modulating (talking). The wiring has been...

Today our LX 7000 behaved strangely. We had hi pressure, 30.49". I set the machine as we normally set it at KAWO, 137 ft, and actual QNH of 30.48 While we were flying, the LX 7000 reported altitude was consistently 450 to 500 ft above the Altimeter. Later while on the ground at 137 ft I checked...

I have a LX7000 with rear seat repeater we removed from our Duo Discus. It was working at the time of removal and I would like it to find a new home.

Does anyone have any experience using this combination (with the 302 providing GPS, vario, etc to the LX via serial cable), and if so, how do you like it? Pros, cons? I have a friend considering this combination but he doesn't do r.a.s. He's looking to replace his PDA with the LX to clean up his...

Does anyone have first hand experience of the LX7007 coupled to the "LX Compass module"? Specifically at how good it is at calculating the wind direction/speed? By itself the LX7007 is less than convincing whilst the Oudie is quite hopeless. As LX want £480 just for the "Compass module" I thought...
