Lx Eos vario
Anyone here had much experience with the Lx Eos vario? I'm thinking about
swapping out the old faithful CAi 302 and popping in the Eos alongside the powerflarm and Oudie. |

Don't forget the BabelFish Bluetooth interface.

I replaced an LX7007 Pro IGC with a toasted audio section (couldn't be repaired), and the Clearnav is much easier to understand (obviously the 7007 had more options) - for me. The Oudie (Lite with XC Soar) and CNv talk well (MC setting, and you can send declarations). I'd buy it again. Fitted in an SZD-55. |

I used a CAI 302 with a serial to Bluetooth converter I got from US Converters (usconverters.com) and a cable I made. Running XC Soar on a Dell Streak worked pretty well. I had a few signal drops, but not many and reconnecting thru XC Soar was rarely an issue.
Sold the CAI 302 and adapter last week, but I have a K6BT for sale if you are interested. |
