Default Borgelt B700 variometer: Anyone with experience with this vario?

I love my SN-10, but don't like any of the audio's.........I want up only audio. Can't stand an audio that never shuts up! When the audio comes on, it means I'm entering lift, when it goes off, it tells me I'm leaving the lift...........don't want or need anything else in climb or cruise mode. I have flown with the Borgelt 300 or 400 along with my 10 for years. The 400 and 700 have a Backup 6 volt battery. Nice feature, got me home the day my battery lead broke.

Wouldn't severe sink be useful too? Or, really, faster/slower tones, with a large null band. Anyway, super easy to program, if you have the source code :-)

Come to think of it, there should be plenty of resources in modern electronic varios to allow the user to customise a lot of things in the user interface, using something like JavaScript (ugh -- but JerryScript for example doesn't need much memory) to wire together provided primitive functions.
