Hi,

I stand corrected. Andrej at SeeYou confirmed that SeeYou uses the airspeed
information from the 302 and calculates the wind independently. It does not
use the 302 supplied wind calculation. The 302 calculates only a single
wind number (if I remember correctly). SeeYou calculates winds at several
altitudes (if I remember correctly).

That would explain why some pilots see different numbers in SeeYou than they
do on their 303 display.

Hi Dave,

Yes. SeeYou gets airspeed and wind data from the 302. The 302
calculates
the wind - not SeeYou. If SeeYou does not get wind data from the flight
computer it can calculate wind while circling, but the 302 also
calculates
wind while cruising.

Let me know if you ever want some one-on-one phone support for SeeYou. I
do
that quite often and my customers tell me it is worth every penny.

Paul - ah are you sure? SeeYou Mobile also gets true airspeed and
other data from the 302. SeeYou Mobile is quite capable of using those
to guestimate non-circling winds. And it was my impression that it did
this and does not directly use the calculated wind data (that is also
passed from the 302). It certainly appears to behave that way to me.

Dave FYI the Cambridge dataport reference manual is an interesting
read, and SeeYou has a terminal mode (MenuSettingsHardwareTerminal)
you can look at what is going over the wire. That has helped me in the
past at least understand some behavior of SeeYou (and file a bug :-))
- SeeYou support is pretty darn good, check out their Forums. See
