Enclosed is emails back and forward re OLC (Reiner) and older Cambridge loggers. Klaus has trying to bring some sense to it all.

** After 5 tries to call Reiner, e-mails to various OLC addresses, and, as usual, no reply, all of a sudden this mail came in yesterday.**** So, I keep quiet for now, and we hope, that something positive happens. The sales damage due to the OLC behaviour and the automatic OLC server answers, blaming me for all, is high.**** Klaus**** ** ** *********************************************************************** TEKK-Technische Konsultation Keim**** Würmhalde 1**** D-71134 Aidlingen**** Tel: +49-7034-652313**** Fax:+49-7034-652314**** emai: **[email protected]****** www.tekk-home.de**** *********************************************************************** ------------------------------ *Von:* **Reiner Rose** [mailto:[email protected]] *Gesendet:* Freitag, 24.

We will send you the Vali DLL plus the converted IGC files with the CAL code for testing shortly.

When the current Cambridge bought the 302 manufacturing rights, they were not interested in the Model 10/20/25 line. So, these legacy recorders are not related to the 302 line. > > The IGC Specifications are quite clear that a 3-Digit code in the A-Record of an IGC File can be used to identify the appropriate validation routine. So, there can be a CAM, CAL, CAX for example. This is spelled out in the IGC specifications. Note that the OLC already does this for OLC-only recorders - you have literally a dozen or more FRs using the 1-Digit code "X" with the 3-Digits required to uniquely identify the recorder (SeeYou, Flarm, Ilec, etc.). > > So, we have several options here: > > 1.
