Tony,

website. My favorite "club" vario is the iLEC SC-7, it also has a
McReadring option.

hmmm will the Tasman V1000 work on just a static port or does it have
to have a TE Probe? No Total Energy on the Cherokee...

my winter is plumbed to the flask on one side and the static system on
the other.

i had a homemade vertical tube sticking up just behind the turtle deck
in years past. Built it according to Dick Johnson's article. When I
recovered the glider I left it off. Vario seems to work about the same
with or without it. Perhaps that drag reduction is why I've had so
many long flights this season

AFAIK none of the simple vario+averager type instruments have electronic
TE compensation - the B.40 and V.1000 certainly don't.

If you do get a pressure sensing vario, as opposed to a capacity flask/
flow type, and retain the Winter, you should at least glance at this:
