Wish i still had my Skytronic GFX...
Rated by: hurrikanejae (more about me) on 2008-01-29 17:13:55 (user reviews) Review ID:1930

Pros: Loud, Accurate, Great for speed comparisons, Easily mountable with clip included.
Cons: Programming, Buttons, Turns off too fast, No canopy warnings

Just got my pro-track that i just "HAD" to buy so i could "upgrade" from my gfx and have a way to mount on the outside of my helmet. Unfortunatley what i got was a smaller but less user friendly device than i had really wanted to deal with. the initial programming you do for setting up any new audible/computer was impossible without the instructions and the device shut itself off at least 10 times while setting things up. after the intial shock of "clunky user interface", i was happy to know it beeped at 1k feet to confirm it's on and remind me to take off my seatbelt. the warnings are loud and distinct and always on time even on the outside of my hurricane helmet. the other major reason why i miss the skytronic gfx is because this audible does not have any canopy warning sirens. this is a major turn off when you are comfortable with at least 1 siren telling you not to turn or manuever below a chosen altitude. overall, i would say if you have to go with an outside mount, the purchase is a must...if not go with the gfx or neptune..both are more bang for your buck.

Great Audible
Rated by: jcecil (more about me) on 2006-07-03 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1582

Pros: Accurate Recording of information
Cons: Not intuitive to set some options or features

As an audible altimeter this performs just as someone would expect: When you reach the easily programmed altitudes in freefall, it beeps at you. Also accurately records freefall times and speeds, a nice feature. Only downside is if you make a hop n pop, you need to freefall 5 seconds or so first to activate it to record that jump.

User End
Rated by: edkostiuk (more about me) on 2006-05-26 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1553

Pros: Well Worth the investment BUY ONE you will be happy
Cons: Batteries are expensive (not happy about their shelf life)

Took a while to learn the user end...would like to see the manual a little more streamlined for us challenged techno dummies but the device has exceeded it's expectations....I highly encourage everyone to purchase it. The Batteries are on the expensive end but the tradeoff is a device you can count on...an NY buddy and I swap pictures all the time on who is doing what in the jump world...this time no bogus claims (on his end of course) we have documented proof of freefall accuracy.
