steveorino 7 #1 July 8, 2013 I just bought an Altitron digital altimeter and after trying to set it up I used it for 3 jumps. I liked the fact it worked as a watch between jumps. But something happened. On my 4th jump it never switched to altimeter. I was on a tandem and had to count .... Well, after 2000 tandems I know what 4.5K looks like but not something I want to repeat. I took it as a back up on all jumps today and it never worked as altimeter. I would see "the time" then maybe a "0" and sometimes a "2". I have a manual, but for the life of me it is hard to read. Any suggestions? steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hypoxic_fool 0 #2 July 8, 2013 buy a neptune 3, works great for me. works as a watch, tells temperature and date, records all jump info such as speed at specific altitudes and deployment, delay, exit altitude, customizable canopy or free fall alarms.

steveorino 7 #7 July 8, 2013 Yeah, I read that before I ever did anything - so I know I never put anything in the hole. Plus I went to their website and used their form email -- it came back as undeliverable -- Crappy service! Never again! Paragear who sold it to me was even less helpful -- they told me to contact parasport -- wasn't their issue. Seriously reconsidering ever buying anything from either company again. Plus EVERY student I have wil lhear my beef. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronny2 0 #8 July 9, 2013 A customer of me have also a "fail" on his screen. So I contacted Paolo from ParaSport (paolog@parasport.it) he reply me immediately and ask me to send it back. A few days later I receive a brand new one! Good service to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveorino 7 #9 July 18, 2013 Not much luck with Parasport. They wanted me to send it back with no value and UPS said it would cost $150???? Maybe I had a newbie clerk, so I called ParaGear for second time and they sent me a new one and I sent the messed up one back to them. Good service by PARAGEAR ... thank you! steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveorino 7 #10 July 26, 2013 Paragear sent me another Altitron .. I'll be #$%@ if it didn't do the same thing! It worked for 3 jumps and failed to read on the rest. I sent it back and Paragear sold me a Neptune. I love Paragear's service and I love my EVO helmet from Parasports, but the Altitron is a piece of $hit as far as I am concerned steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
