Borgelt B500 with mini SD card interface. Unit is about 5 years old but has never been installed in a glider. Unit was originally purchased for a homebuilt kit that was never finished. Every component has been bench tested and upgraded to the latest firmware in March.

A new B800 (it's successor, but very similar features) sells for $1350, but you can have this one practically new from me for half of that. Keep in mind, you will need a speaker or preferably 2 for stereo functions, but they're only $10 or so each.
$700 and I'll pay for UPS shipping.
