I hardly think that it's a case of moaning. And I didn't ask for a monthly subscription. What I asked for is a robust system which does what it says on the tin, and the opportunity, if I have to continue paying for it, to do so as and when I use it.
I've had my RadarBox for almost a year, and enjoyed using it, despite the fact that the software is a bit flaky, and the benefit gained from the network in my case) negligible. I've seen the performance of the software (again, in my case) lacking, and I've also seen the information obtained from the network when I have used it to be questionable. These are issues that I've aired on this forum, and have had a modicum of support.
When you live abroad, on a pension, with what savings you have earning less and less, and with the exchange rate fluctuating between poor and hopeless, you look twice at niceties like the ongoing cost of subscribing to a network which doesn't properly serve its purpose, and which you rarely use.
And if I rightly choose to take issue with the suppliers about the service provided on a forum such as this in order to try and get the supplier (and other users) into discussion, it's not moaning but drawing attention to inadequacies so that all may benefit. Some of you, I think, heap unbridled praise on the manufacturers of this equipment without really considering the issues at hand. They are not in it for the benefit of their health, but to make a profit. As customers we should have input into the equation.
Yes, the concept is good, but it is certainly not infallible, and could be implemented in a better way. Until it is, I've made my decision, rightly or wrongly, to not renew my subscription. My choice. Maybe things will change over the ensuing year, in which case I'll review my decision. I'll watch with interest.
