Hi Jim,

It would seem to me that the failure of the pushbutton to work was caused by
a poor installation - which is easy to fix by removing and re-attaching the
knob. It may not be fair to blame the manufacturer for that.

If no one plays with the settings

In practice, this is impossible. It only has one rotary knob
which services at least ten pages of functions - only one of
which is volume. The first time one turns on the glider power the
vario will scream . . a punter will reach for the vario's
'volume' knob, give it a twist, no matter what page it is on,
etc, etc. To make it worse, the way to change pages is to press
the knob - and this function was faulty on the new unit that I
have used . . . Of course the 'double-click' to get back to the
'home' page failed as well . . .

Not a good device unless *all* pilots are prepared to learn how
to use it properly, which includes not 'fiddling' (and you get a
good unit).
