Could you clarify what the differences are between the LX166 and the
LX1606, apart from the extra control/display unit in the 166?
It seems that the 166 is more powerful, even though your website
presents the 1606 as more capable (and a bit more expensive).

I'm looking for an affordable data source for my PDA and a precise
vario. (I'm not particularly looking for an additional means of
navigation.)
I'm unsure whether to go for an affordable, second-hand Borgelt B50 or
a new LX166.

I'd like to combine Volkslogger[GPS, 4800baud] - Vario - iPaq 310
[9600baud]. According to the manual, baud rates are detected
automatically, so I'm concluding that this should work. Do the
LX166/1606 correctly pass flight declarations from the PDA to the
Logger?

Thanks
