Default alternative McCready theory and variometers

And If I understand you correctly the 302 and ClearNav then have what I
called "relative netto" audio. (relative netto indicates the vertical

But how much is it skewed with MC settings?

Not quite. 'Netto' mode tells you what the air mass is doing by
subtracting the glider's polar from the vario indication. When My SDI C4
vario is in cruise mode it bases its STF indication (both display and
sounds) on what it thinks the air mass is doing. I imagine that the 302
and Clearnav do much the same.
