I have recently bought an Horus X12S, I also have GRX6 receiver, I can see that the RX sends altitude and vertical speed info to the Transmitters telemetry display, but I cannot figure out how to make the transmitter make variometer tones? the Frsky manual is very lacking on this, Can anyone point me to where I can find step by step to do this ?

In OpenTX, there is a Special Function “Play Vario”, and you can assign it to a switch.

Unfortunately I don't have OpenTX, I am using FROS. How does one make vario sound sing in FROS?

I have a Horus 10S and am using the G-XR8 Rx with Vario. To hear the tones you just put a special function to "play vario".

For me, I can see on the screen that the vario quickly shows lift or sink at a very high frequency, but the tone and frequency of the tones are very insensitive. Not good for low lift.

I am using FrOS and want to know if there is any way to increase the sensitivity (octave or frequency) of the tones?

I also have FrOS vario with “play vario” not working. “play value” works providing altitude. Anyone get play vario to work on FrOS?
