Hi Gents
Thanks for the good information on the MRX, I appreciate the time you guys took to write about it.
It sounds like when it is working and connected to the ships power it is a good thing to have on board.
I got mine in my extra's box of stuff when I purchased glider T and it seems to work at the present.
I set it on the dash of my F150 truck looking at the turns from downwind to base to final here in Telluride yesterday at it worked as advertised, and I could read the screen in bright sunlight
I like how simple it is to use and how easy it is to interpret the display. To bad they went Tango Uniform as Bruno so delicately put it :]
Happy Holidays

T

Are these units reliable and worth having in your glider?

Are they consistent enough to trust in a real threat situation?

I've had mine for less than a year and, so far, it has not failed.

As to extremely high or low aircraft alerting - during setup the pilot
chooses maximum range and altitude difference to report.

Likewise, I've had mine for 2 or 3 years with no issues. I bought it
from someone who had just installed a Powerflarm.
