302 vs clearnav vario with XCSoar

I've used the CNvXC for two years with a Streak/XCSoar and a 302 for 3
years before that and I now use the CNv with a ClearNav II flight
computer. Since I moved to a two-seater, I rigged up cable splitters
and two Bluetooth converters so my wife gets to use XCSoar when we fly.
XCSoar displays calculated winds, position, etc., from the CNv just
fine. XCSoar doesn't "support" ClearNav because ClearNav didn't or
wouldn't give them one to use for testing, but the CNv uses the 302
protocol.

The option to use externally calculated wind was removed in one of the recent XCSoar versions. So it also won't be available with a 302.

There were some issues with CNv serial communication but they were solved with software updates. It works well with XCSoar although it is officially not supported.

I'm also using CNv with digital display, linked to an Oudie Lite running XC Soar with the Cumulus cable. Works well.
