KE Vario
Hear lift quickly, read altitude clearly, and keep your flight deck small. The interface is built for pilots who want a reliable instrument without a complicated setup ritual.
33 x 69 x 16 mm body, easy to mount on a riser, cockpit, or harness strap.
The E-ink display stays visible in bright alpine sun and keeps power use low.
Switch units, update firmware, and tune settings through the built-in web console.
Expertise
Pulse-modulated tones use a non-linear frequency curve so weak lift and stronger climbs feel distinct.
Flight-tested filtering smooths pressure noise while keeping the vario responsive enough for thermal work.
BLE output supports common flight app workflows including XCTrack, XCSoar, and SeeYou-style telemetry.
Each unit ships calibrated with tracked delivery, 12-month hardware warranty, and direct email support.
