RadarBox FlightStore Sale

[AllanK]

After many months of deliberation, comparisons and forum reading I have today taken the plunge and ordered.

Looking forward now (<-edited from my erroneously typed  'not')  to the delivery and then getting started

Anyway, welcome to RB and the forum, Allan. Feel free to ask questions, preferably after you've had a scan through the manual ;-)

Hi Allan, I'm a newbie to the RB as well (25/12!), load 2009 software to your PC then connect up RB - I'm not very good with computers, but had the Box up and running in about 15 minutes (with Vista and Norton 360), I don't think this would have been as easy with the Dark Side's product?

Welcome Allan,

Have you seen the video tutorials on the AirNav website?

Ok despite all the doubts and disagrements before,just was going to order the RB when stumble on this topc.
On the orderpage  i was getting a bit confused about the price's
first i wonder what the differents are between BP 1090 B10 and BP 1090 B20 (beside the 10m cable) and second at the top of the page there is a other price showing, why the differents and what is the correct price then is it 549,95 or 524,95

When you click buy the antenna kit, it  say in the product discription (AirNav RadarBox RadarBox - BP-1090-B20 Antenna system incl. 20m cable)  @ 524,95.
But selecting order now it say (AirNav RadarBox Hardware with 1 Year Free Network @ 549,95) its a 25 euro dif. Can't be the network because this is free the first year

[tarbat]

The Radarbox is 549 euros, and that includes 1 year network sub.

The BP 1090 B10 and BP 1090 B20 are antenna kits only (not a Radarbox), the only difference being the length of cable (10m vs 20m).  These are priced as in your screenshot.

[Theo]

ok that i know but click on the order the antenna kit it say clearly --->AirNav RadarBox RadarBox - BP-1090-B20 Antenna system incl. 20m cable.
you not gonna tel me that the complete antenna kit is cost 446/524 alone without the box included, the way you tell it would cost 549 for the box + 524 for the antenna system (correct me if i'm wrong)

[tarbat]

That's correct.  Radarbox is 549, the OPTIONAL antenna kit is 524.  You don't have to order the antenna kit, the Radarbox comes with an antenna.

Or get the Radarbox for approx. 425 euros from Flightstore - http://www.flightstore.co.uk/prod/KINAIRNAV/SFVRAD/SFVRAD/

[Theo]

wow must be a golden antenna then the same kit is by aerotrading 279, euro
and thats including
GP1090 Antenne
1 meter ECOFLEX kabel N-N
A12-1090 Versterker (preamp)
10 meter ECOFLEX kabel N-N
BT-12 DC Bias-T
1 meter kabel (naar de SBS-1 of Radarbox)
--------------------------------------------------------
 The box itself cost 455, euro + 279 (antenna kit)=734 euro save's you 340 euro
quick canceling the order and off to aerotrading 8-)

[tarbat]

I agree. Airnav's euro exchange rate seems to be very poor at the moment.  The Radarbox is approx. 100 euros more expensive if you buy direct from Airnav.  I really don't understand why their exchange rate is so bad, maybe it's just out-of-date?

[Theo]

yes indeed the differens is allmost a extra box and 80 euro for  10m cable is not to believe, this kind of cable cost in holland (depending on the thicknis) between the 3,5 a 4 euro http://www.haje.nl/product_info.php?products_id=18833

[tarbat]

Anyway, great that you found a good price at aerotrading.  Let us know when you're up and running with your Radarbox, and make sure that you download v2.0 (2009) of the software.

[Theo]

following the discription they deliver it with the 2009 software

[AllanK]

Well the box is here, connected and working.  Range not too good at the moment so will be experimenting with location, trying the loft and looking into an external one possibly.
