    Dear Customer, Congratulations to your new Picolario 2. You have chosen an up to date future proof telemetry system, which is manufactured by Renschler Instruments in germany. The Picolario2 is the successor of the Picolario. It can be used in the 433 Mhz LPD band and also at the back channel of your 2.4 Ghz telemetry radio control.

  • Page 4: First Operation Of The Pico2 At 433 Mhz Lpd

    First operation of the Pico2 at 433 MHZ LPD: Plug the vario into a free channel of your receiver. This channel supplies the Pico2 with power and is used to request information. The voltage the Pico2 talks about, is exactly this voltage. Assign a switch (3 positions) or a slider to this channel. Ensure that it has a +-100% range.

This announcement has no „altitude“ in front of it and simply tells „124m“.
