mandm 0 #3 April 26, 2006 I bought one, had to return it after about 30 jumps- it would work most of the time, but would then show wrong altitude readings (- 300 m (!)) close to landing and wrong opening altitudes (more than - 200 m compared to others opening at the same altitude). Again, not during all jumps, just sometimes. The GFX would also suddently show +/- 60 meters on the ground, even after beeing manually zeroed.... I returned this unit and Paragear (excellent service, BTW) sent me a new one which they even test-jumped, and it worked with them. Tried it again (on Para-Gear's hand-mount, maybe this was the problem), same results: 3 Jumps fine, 2 way off (+/- 300 meters, both landing alerts and opening data, compared to other people). It would also suddently switch to flight mode on the ground. Again, ParaGear agreed to replace it, this time I am going for a ProTrack, never heard that they show this kind of behaviour.. It's a pity, though, because I liked the GFX's options, but of course, what use is an audible if it only works sometimes?
