fireater34 0 #1 May 23, 2011 Not found any reviews or anything out there yet. But looking at the NeoX audible. Primarily i'm looking for an audible for canopy patern use (no where near swooping at this point). I already have a protrack that I am perfectly happy with and just looking for something solely for canopy tones and not so much the data logging etc. Thanks, JB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeffBarlow 10 #2 May 23, 2011 Has been using one for about a year - no complaints and easy to operate. I believe that's an excellent alternative to Optima from L&B. I believe Parasport did pretty good job on this one same as Altitron now for nearly 2 years in use - no complaints. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyingRadio 0 #4 May 24, 2011 I own both a Neptune2 (used as a visual+canopy alarm) and a NeoXs (I think this is what you meant - I'm not sure if they had an older 'NeoX' version prior or if that was a typo.) The NeoXs has 3 volume levels for both the freefall and canopy alarms (and these can be set independently.) The Neptune2 also offers canopy alarms, and compared to the NeoXs has a nice feature; it beeps as you approach your target altitude. It's a very specific sequence of single beeps that gets faster as you get closer, and then a final unique tone at each of your 3 pre-selected altitudes. The Neptune2 also has a feature to set the canopy alarm to "loud" volume so you can hear it from your wrist when used as a visual. Compare this to the NeoXs which initiates the tones once you're at the altitude. There's nothing wrong with this, and I've actually been using both audibles for canopy alarms recently - my Neptune aids me with pattern points while I set my NeoXs for various manoeuvring altitudes for a total of up to 6 altitude alarms. And remember, the alarms only aid in altitude awareness - eyes are your failsafe when audibles fail.-- Radio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
