Call Bob at family software. I have used his stuff for 5 years now and have been very happy with it. Ifamilysoftware.com is the address.

Whatever you do, DO NOT pick Altronics!!!!
They have horrible customer service and when they sent it back each time we sent it to them, it still wasn't right. I learned to deal with it for the past couple of years by tricking it and have finally been able to ditch it for an Altalab that I picked up last weekend. A friend of mine has one so I know how easy it is to use and it looks like we just need to mount the outside stuff on some kind of a PVC pipe or something on the new trailer since the previous owners kept all of their mounts and there's a hole for the wires already. Can't wait to start playing with it next year!

I have the Altronics and it has not been the most precise unit I have ever used. I paid 1800.00 for it with the pager and if you want to be .10 fast it is great. I bought the Family software prediction program and it has been great. It is usualy within .001 or so and it works with my existing Altronics stuff as well as paging me with the good info out of my computer.

I have a an issue with Altronics, contingency program sucks, they want you to pay into their program Registered applicants are eligible for contingency for (4 years NHRA) and (3 years IHRA) from date of purchase. Applicants can renew and extend their eligibility after this period. $ 120.00 for an additional 2 years. Not too racer friendly.
I have to say though the weather station worked well enough for me to win a championship trusting that the car and weather station spoke the same language, they did, but along with Crew-chief, any good weather station does the job.
Would I buy an Altronics again?...............................

Regardless of which weather station you choose, the prediction will only be as good as the info
that you input. Do not be afraid to throw out runs even if the run fits in the station's program.

I have the altronics with ifamily software, and Bob is great to deal with.

AltaLab &Crew Chief Pro . Flawless performance for the last 4 years, No issues with either product. ...Excelent customer service when you have a question. ...Alta Lab unit can stand alone , altho it needs a cheap PC to opperate the prediction program, Which is also very good.... Tom

Altalab's AltaCom II and Common Sense Software's Crew Chief 6.0 software program is a real tough combination to beat. Excellent customer service (fast return on phone calls) is a BIG plus for both products (although Don Higgins at Common Sense Software talks a little fast at times for non-techno's like me to absorb). Niether are cheap but both are well worth the investment without question.
Good luck!

Thanks for the compliments.

Most importantly I answer the phone even on weekends. No other company has this kind of support. I change and improve our Crew Chief Pro software everyday.
