Default Zander 940/941 or ZS-1 Flight Computers???

I inherited an early Zander in my ASW-20 ten years ago. After a
season, it died in the Arizona heat and I was unable to obtain any
repair or spares assistance from the manufacturer. At the time,
Zander support in the USA was pretty non-existent. I switched to a
Borgelt at the time, which not only worked well, but being Aussie
could survive our extreme heat. Heat failure is a common problem of
much consumer-grade electronics (especially PDAs)

I now run an Ilec SN10 which works well enough (although I preferred
the Borgelt navigation page). I hear that the LX series and Cambridge
perform well. I look forward to some innovative instruments designed
and built this side of the Euro Curtain.
