A few additional questions on the LX Mini Map/1606. I understand that
the system can be controlled by the LX Remote Stick.


- Is the LX Remote Stick easy to use with SeeYou mobile?


- Can the vario be switched in and out of the STF mode from the LX
Remote Stick?


- Finally, I am not sure how the LX Remote Stick deals with the PTT
button. My understanding is that the LX remote stick communicates on a
485 data Bus. I am not sure that my Dittel radio takes that as an
input for the PPT button!


Thanks,

Bastone,


The PPT button is in the middle on the LX Remote Stick and is just a
momentary switch.


I do have both the MiniMap KB-V *thad *incudes the USD -B new vario
with the stepper motor needle and color display.


I also have LX1606 with the same vario in stock.

The NANO also in stock will work with the MiniMap KB-V for a complete
solution.

I will ask LX Navigation their impression of how the Stick Controller
works with SeeYou PNA.


I don't believe the LX Remote has an additional switch available for
the SC.


Thanks,

Richard,
the USD-B seems to go with the MiniMap, and the temptation is to
replace the little add-on knob and button block with the Stick
Controller (SC). *But the USD-B doesn't have a volume control or any
control really, I guess you control it off of the MiniMap somehow, or
the SC.

Is it clear to you how you would change the volume of the USD-B using
an SC, or what exactly do you use?

Thanks,

Brian,

The MiniMap Software has two pages in SeeYou for the control of the
Vario. It has a lot of customization options. Download the Manual to
see.

The LX1606 has a Knob in addition to the software to contol it. One
could have a NANO to LX1606 to PDA or ???
