LX160 has only one contact for SC/vario switch. The Auto mode is selected from the variometer switch panel.
Randy, if you have pictures easily available I would appreciate if you could email those. There are these plastic materials you can heat up in boiling water, and place in mold. Maybe those could be the solution. Taking skipole handle, carving our the head, installing into the stick, placing the switches, and filling with abovementioned plastic?
Also I need to find a switch that is small enough to fit and robust enough to work years without maintenance.
