Aviatrr 0 #1 December 14, 2003 Anybody know what speed the Pro Track assumes you've deployed when in any mode other than SLO? How about when in SLO mode? I'm sure it says it in the manual....but I have no idea where my manual for the thing is. I had two jumps this past weekend where the pro-track shut down thinking I had deployed less than 30 seconds after exit. I'm assuming I went below the speed at which it thinks you've deployed. Any problem like this with the Neptune? I'm thinking about getting one for the logging(more than 119sec) and the fact that you can download the profiles with simply an IR port(which I have on my laptop). I could either spend $100 on the Jump Track setup or $250 on the Neptune....trying to decide which. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Staso 0 #4 December 15, 2003 that speed is not mentioned in the manula. they say that deployment altitude is when your decent is slowed down considerably, that's as far as they go in explanation. stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ...

The111 1 #5 December 15, 2003 Damn, I just bought JumpTrack but I'm getting interested in the Neptune too. I'm guessing you can install an IR port on a normal PC?www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staso 0 #6 December 15, 2003 some PCs have IR ports, but the question is would they understand the protocol. you need software that would work with that device using IR port or RS-232 port. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ...

Aviatrr 0 #7 December 15, 2003 Yes, you can add an IR port to any PC. They have different versions - cards that insert in the expansion slots of a PC, cards that fit into the PCMCIA slots on notebooks, units that attach to serial ports, USB ports, etc... They're usually kinda hard to find at computer stores - but can be ordered online at many places for about $25-40. My notebook has one built in.
