My old Cambridge CAV series Audio Variometer is dying. *It will die

helpful. *The other problem is the tones themselves. *I have some
hearing loss in mid-upper ranges, and as a consequence, I have to
crank the volume to max to hear the "climb" sounds. *Unfortunately, I

loud (and annoying after several minutes!). *Is there a place on the

can find one that I like?

The Ilec sounds best, my 302 is OK, and I just wanted to drive a stake
through the heart of my old Borgelt.

Agree about the Borgelt audio..

My Borgelt B50 is a nice instrument, and although is sounds great at
12 knots, the audio is painful after a while. I usually turn it down
to being just audible.- Hide quoted text -

I watched/listened to the Tasman Vario video. I could live with those
tones, and frankly most of the others are out of my price range. In
the meantime (while saving my pennies) I'll adjust the sink deadband
of my old Cambridge to be quiet unless sink exceeds 10 knots.
