$1k is quite a bit to lay down though, but it is a very nice bit of kit.

Yeah I bought one and it is a really good piece of kit. The software doesn't have as many options as something like 2D but you pay big big dollars for one of them, and the software is constantly being updated with new features. The GPS is really accurate too, usually within 0.05 of the transponders, and a high percentage is closer.

Yeah, I'll be bringing the van up to take home my trophy.

I could sell you my stop watch, the second and the minute hands have fallen off but the hour hand still works fine.

I was looking into getting a GPS unit and it is amazing how much information you could get from it. I ended up getting the XT from Kevin instead because I thought you are not allowed to use data loggers for most classes...

Thoroughly happy with the XT and he got it to me on short notice so I could attend a test day. Top service
