Sad.



Is Cambridge still selling their products like the 302 and 303? If

they sell them, they are manufacturing them. That would imply that

they are testing them. If they test them, then they would also be

able to repair them. So if they can't repair, they can't test, and

can't sell. Coming full circle, it would seem the Cambridge is going

out of business. At least why would anyone buy their products if you

knew you can't get it repaired?



Too bad, I love my 302 as do many others. Let's hope it keeps on

tickin' for another few years. Anyone suggest an alternative device?

The Butterfly Vario? Not yet a certified recorder I believe.

The more I read about high end instruments, the less I regret not being

able to afford them.



I have asked a number of people to explain to me exactly what their

"super varios" do that a good basic vario and a decent PDA/software

setup does not do. I mean besides calculating to more decimal places.

Maybe I would understand if I flew a glider with more than two speeds....

The bottom line is "better information".

In my case, it's helped quite a bit.
