wireless wind and speed instruments - is it OK

[jmoreau]

We have to replace our old LX 3600 Datamarine wind and speed instruments
is wireless working well and is it reliable?

Only a sample size of one, but the Tacktick system we installed in 2008 is still working fine.

For out on the water they seem to do fine but anywhere near cell towers there may be a problem.

Also, the distance between the monitor and sender are questionable if it says 60' go with 50'. The problem I experienced with my Tack Tick is the sender is forward of the mast and the monitor/receiver is behind the mast.

But for the most part it worked good, just not for an ocean crossing if one depends on it like I do. It was only temporary until I could rewire in a new system.

We have a Nexus system on our boat - and love it. They were purchased recently by Garmin. Half the price of the competition.
