I assume that you did the sensible thing and power cycled the 302

Otherwise I don't have any suggestions due mostly to my 302 has been
rock solid for 4 years. *Great device.

You might want to drop a note to gkammerer at cambridge-aero.com and
see if they can sort out the problem. *They are good at answering
questions.

Good luck.

The original post might have had more replies if there was a bit more
details provided. Are both devices on the exact same TE line? All the
comparisons were in climb mode? Was the poster sure the 302 was
switching to climb mode *properlY? Did the averager and pointer
disagree or just one? Etc.

Shared TE, ASI and Static

pointer and Average were in sync.
Hard switch on flap handle working and selecting climb or cruise mode.

I suspect its compensation in FUBARED and needs reseting, also going
to flash it to latest version or ROM.

Another sanity check was whether TE compensation appeared to work OK
when in cruise mode? And had anything been touched/changed recently?
And I presume the TE line is well split behind the seat somewhere to
isolate the sage capacity flask from the C302 and you were sure none
of hte lines got mixed up and you've look at the two runs of TE line
under the seat for any water in them (disconnect and blow them out?).
But unless there is an obvious problem from that stuff then I have no
more suggestions other than one of your varios is screwed.
