JPI Data Encryption?

Be careful what you say about JPI. They're bullies and very sue
happy. Fargin' NAZI's! Maybe it's time to start recirculating those
"NO JPI" Tshirts.

Seems sometime last year JPI decided to eliminate the ability of it's
scanners to export data in the widely used CSV (comma separated fields)
format. When a unit is sent in for upgrade or repair they silently make
this change to the firmware.

The only thing you can use to plot your data is their software. Won't
export to Exel, any other database or any other trend monitoring software.

JPI recently started a web board. This issue has been raised on that board.
The sysadmin has been deleting the threads about as fast as they pop up.

Take a look at http://www.jpitech.com/messageboard/index.php. The most
recent thread was under 'Unbelievable'. Probably gone by now.

As of 1015 EDT, they took the web board down again. Interesting attitude
towards customers who pay a premium for their products.

JPI is getting absolutely killed on the Cessna Pilots Assoc website
message boards because of their anti customer positions. Hard to
believe they could be so stupid.

None too popular on the Bonanza owners list, either.

Nor on various Piper lists.

Sigh!!! Corporate suicide.

Evidently many companies don't realize that they can't hide their
stupidity/arrogance like they used to.

So, don't upgrade the software? I have a JPI-700 (never registered it, if
I'm supposed to...it came with my plane) and don't really see anything that
would encourage me to change it.

In almost five years I'm had it, I've downloaded data to it only once.

That'll work fine as long as JPI never touches your JPI-700. At
Sun-n-fun, a Piper list member was told that all new monitors and any
old ones that come in for service will have their firmware upgraded and
will no longer work with older versions of the program (that allow you
to convert the data).

Better hope that nothing breaks on it. Send it back to them for a repair
of *any kind* and you are going to get updated firmware.

To each his own. I make sure that every one of my flights gets download.
I figure if an when I ever sell my plane (HA!) and the prospective buyer
asks how the engine is, I'll hand him a cdrom and tell he can review every
hour of operation since overhaul.

It's a good tool to use if you can interpret it. I think a major
problem is that if you return the unit for repair, you get the new
software, regardless of your wishes. Sure hacks a lot of people off.

I wonder if the JPI folks are really aware they're ****ing so many
off! Anyone have any insight out there?
