I found what I was pretty confident was a bug in the electronic
compensation code 1-2 years ago. I don't know if that issue was
corrected in subsequent firmware upgrades, but when I found it I
switched to TE input and have been happy with that.

The bug resulted (on the bench where things were totally stable) in the
vario "sticking" + or - a couple of knots after the system was
disturbed. If I dialed the electronic compensation back from 100 to 0
that error erased itself in a linear fashion. By going to a TE input
and setting the compensation to 0 eliminated that issue for me.

If anyone has a new unit that's on the bench I can certainly provide
details if you want to test it.

Yes, I did make 2-3 attempts to communicate this to CAI and once I was
sure they really knew about it I let it go. I never heard back from
them directly on a resolution.

Can I get some opinions from some of the 302 users on the pros and cons
of using TE compensation verses electronic compensation?
Such as, which do you prefer and what your experience has been using each.
In short, what do you like and what are you not totally happy with about this
instrument.
