baconwings 0 #1 October 18, 2009 Finally getting around to buying an audible but which one. Most people say anything from L&B. I will be buying new so any useful comments is welcome.

Will you connect it to computer? Does it have to be water resistant? I use Neptune because it works with paralog and has all the features I wanted (log, 3 FF alerts, 3 CP alerts, works with paralog). It also works on standard batteries (you can buy them just about anywhere) and has user upgradable firmware. But then again people that have L&B say good stuff about them...I understand the need for conformity.

Want canopy alarms and FF alarms and the awesome L&B customer service.. Optima... But now they have made 2's and 3's of the stuff so i dont know anymore.. It's not that big a deal, either way I think you'll be happy with your new audible:-D Only reason I switched to neptune is because i lost my optima, and my dealer gave me i dicount on the neptune.. I was definately completely happy with either one of the two. Except from the dfact that i lost my optima in a field when I landed out(removed my helmet to untangle my sabre2 from a fence), but that can hardly be blamed on the audible Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
