Hi
When I set my Lx 7000 to Netto, * my vario needle *indicate +1.8 kt on

When I choose vario or relative vario the needle *indicate 0.
Why is that?
Thank you,

Mine does the same. I assume that it is because it does not realise
you are not flying, and the sink rate at minimum flying speed would be
about 1.8 knots; since you are not descending, it thinks you are in
air which is rising at 1.8 knots.

This is what I have always believed, but it is just a guess on my
part. I like netto mode for the cruise.
