garef001 0 #1 December 13, 2003 hi looking to get an audible, was wondering which to get. I think that i am between a protrack or a neptune. thanks for the help Thanasi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazarrd 1 #2 December 13, 2003 ive got a protrack, but if i was in your position (i.e. not already having one) i would get the neptune. along with being a little cheaper, it also offers more options and doubles as a digital altimeter. you can find a ton of posts on both the devices. .-.

garef001 0 #5 December 13, 2003 the difference in price is only $20 so i am not factoring that. My primary use for this would as an audible inside my helmet. i am also running win98 and i noticed that the neptune is compatible with 2000 or xp. is that correct? i had heard that the netpune had some issues, have they been worked out? and why is it that most people have a protrac?

lazerq3 0 #6 December 13, 2003 I think more people have a protrack becase before the neptune it was and still is the best audible (thats just my opinion folks...no flaming!!) plus the customer service of L&B is hard to beat...Of coarse I havnt used a neptune so I really cant compare... but I can tell you I love my protrack!! If it aint broke dont fix it!! hey Its lunch time!!! jasonFreedom of speech includes volume Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinfoil 0 #7 December 13, 2003 Yes, the Neptune still has a few problems, but many were fixed in v1.21, and most will be fixed in v2.0. But if you just need something that beeps, think Dytter “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture. And most importantly, two fat bastards smacking the shit out of each other. ” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMURRAY 1 #8 December 13, 2003 I have the original TimeOut. It works fine. If it finally breaks I'll get a prodytter. I just don't get why people need a protrack or the others like it - unless you just like to spend cash that is. Who cares about that information - what matters it how the skydive went...

darkwing 4 #9 December 13, 2003 Based on my experience with their customer service, I'd strongly recommend the Pro Track. So would all the jumpers I know at my DZ. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave1216 0 #10 December 14, 2003 Ask around at the DZ and find if you can test jump somebod else's and see what you like the feel of. I persoanlly feel that the Neptune appears to be cheaply made whereas the Protrack looks..... good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
