Hi

This question has probably been ask many time!
My new to me LX 7000 offer the choice of Netto or Relative netto for
the vario needle

During cruise with pure Netto selected the needle will be down most of the
time. When you go through a 3 knot thermal your display will go from 600
down to 300 down, hard to realize you are in a 3 knotter. If you select
relative Netto, the display will show the climb rate you will get if you
slow down to thermal speed, or 300 up! Much easier to read and understand.
I never use anything but relative netto.
