Default Polar numbers for Discus A

I have a Belkin USB to Serial adapter for my laptop. It worked great
with Vista, but doesn't work at all with 8.1. Fortunately for me, I had
an old desktop computer that I dropped off in my hangar.

You can make a custom polar in XCSoar and use your own numbers.

thanks, I put 51=1.22 76=2.5 97=5 and we will see.

seeyou I did at 50=1.21 65=1.8 80=3.07

but the Cambridge has only two points. Not sure what to fudge. Took me a week to find a 1995 computer with a serial port. Finally got the down audio to shut up.
