I used to hate the
wind instruments. They would cost an arm and a leg and the
transducer would brake every so often, and the replacement also would cost an arm and a leg. For 30 odd years all I wanted was a windex and the feeling of the fresh sea
wind on my face.
Recently I have started to soften a bit. I have never installed a WIRED
transducer but I reckon it's no easy
project? The txer wire through the
mast..?
Then there are the WIRELESS systems such as this NASA, and I'm considering to
purchase this one:
Clipper: NASA Marine Instruments
Anyone has this particular make and model and would care to share experiences? Did the txer brake? Was a replacement or spares easily available? I can't see the factory listing the wireless txer only... hmmmmm..
What I
recall having read about various wireless wind systems is that there has been issues and they are not so reliable. Maybe just one off cases and I hope folks would prove that wrong.
My other option is the even more affordable traditional style wired system from NASA but the txer wire install through the
mast does not excite me..
