I had a little chuckle to myself today, if I may be so bold, I will quote from the Waters & Stanton advert in the April issue of "Radiouser" here in the UK:
"Why are customers switching to RadarBox? It offers 3-D Google Earth Maps. It's reliable and rugged, is regularly updated, needs no add ons & automatically shares data world wide." It's the obvious choice!
Well I'm sorry but for the best part of £500 it most certainly is not reliable, a long outage over the Christmas period and what is now appearing to be a similar outage, is that classed as reliable to have two long outages in the space of 4 months? The 3-D aspect of the product is what drew me to it, I'm not interested in watching aircraft movements on the other side of the world, or, whether an aircraft's routing is dead accurate, if my box is picking it up I want to be able to see it in 3D on my screen, sorry but that's what I paid for !!
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Waters & Stanton for repairing my RadarBox when it went deaf and the SAW filter needed to be replaced, what was that about reliability ?
Hopefully by the time I post this message my 3D service will be up and running and I can eat my words, but in the meantime, I hope your sub-contractor or equipment provider can come up with a solution soon.
A very disapointed customer.
