SkymonkeyONE 4 #26 March 1, 2004 Why don't you just buy one from The Drop Shop? Don't you live closer to Sebastian than Pahokee anyway? Anyway, I am absolutely thrilled with the performance of my new Neptune. It does everything I need it to, plus a bunch of other stuff I don't really need. It works great as an alti, it's incredibly light, it's waterproof, etc, etc. I love mine. Software upgrades are not a big deal at all so long as you have an IR port or adapter on your computer. That said, I am sure any gear shop that sells you one could do that for you prior to sending it to you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveNFlorida 0 #27 March 1, 2004 I ended up ordering from out of state to avoid sales tax, and got a really good price, too! (see prev post for place). No, I actually live MUCH closer to Pahokee than Sebastian. I tried upgrading the software through the website. We got it into the mode that beeps, and the computer found the neptune, but it kept cancelling for some reason and not updating. We went though this several times and spent a lot of time just getting it into the beep mode, it failed to enter into that mode several times and we were following the instructions, and holding the buttons longer than 10 seconds. The unit had been drop shipped from Alti-2, who said that they didn't mean to send one w/ old software. They were so kind as to send me another one and a mail envelope to return the first to them so that I would not have to be out of a Neptune. That IS awesome service! Thanks Alti-2!! I will be jumping with the new Neptune next weekend, and will post about it after that:) Yay! Angela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #28 March 3, 2004 I hadn't considered the sales tax issue...good catch! You will love your neptune. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
