Audible altimeters?

Recommended Posts

Suggestion: ProTrack. Preference: ProTrack.

You are not doing yourself a favour by expressing a preference in advance, but not expressing why not.

L&B's service and support are second to none, canopy beeps are overrated, and if you take some time to find a second hand offering, you'll have everything you want and some things you didn't know you wanted at a bargain.

You're right, I shouldn't opt out any product w/o proper research. I guess I am looking for something a lil more budget friendly that performs the same functions, comfortable in a bucket and :SI also realize that this is an expensive/highly addictive sport and that I can say goodbye to all my expendable income :S

As others have said, buy used. I just picked up an AltiTrack for $150. I've wanted one of those for years, but didn't want to pay $350+ for one, so I was patient till a great deal came along. I purchased my Pro-track used, and both of my Galaxy altimeters used (really only needed one but one fell in my lap for a good price so I grabbed it as a backup).

To the OP,

I jump with an Optima 2, and have zero complaints, works like a charm, is fully adjustable and has programable canopy chimes(I use it for a second reference to start my downwind, cross and final). Its like 20$ more than the solo and is worth every extra penny IMHO.

To Fendor,

Don't turn it off....those audibles automatically go into a sleep mode and turn back on when they sense an altitude change...Ive had mine on for almost a year now...battery is still fully charged.

I always smile when I'm traveling to Florida by car and I hear my audibles beeping in the back seat as I enter the hills of Kentucky and Tennesee.B|
