We put in a new vario this year, the only snag was we had
nowhere to put the speaker except behind the panel. We thought we could
do with a bit more audio. I remembered our radio, a Dittel clone, has an
input for an intercom. We fed the audio from the vario into the radio,
and now we have all the volume we need.

Mike, that's interesting. Did the radio squelch the vario audio when
transmitting and receiving?

A quick check of my Microair 760 manual shows that Pin 14 is "Music in" on
the DB15 connector. Now, I'm not going to connect a $1000 vario to a $1000
radio without some specific guidance from the respective manufacturers but
that's a cool idea. The audio from the little pizeo squeekers that come
with the Borgelt instruments isn't that great (Even Mike B suggests that
there are better speakers.) and it would be nice to squelch the vario audio
when using the radio.
