I used it for about six months. I really loved it, but my digital phone would usually not work above 1,000' so it was fairly useless in the cockpit. It was really great for preflight planing though and not expensive.
I go a postcard from www.wxworx.com yesterday for their XM radio based system. The card was for a live demonstration at my airport, but unfortunately, I got the card the day after the demo. I had an XM in my KR piped through my intercom and it worked great all the time at any altitude so that would probably be a real good in flight weather sytem. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Dana Overall Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 6:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: KR> Cell Phone Weather! I've used it for the last several months. It is a nice addition for weather awareness. Believe it or not, the near real time NEXRAD is actually a little conservative in it's presentation. I think it has something to do with picking up water saturated clouds from above the earth vs. water pickup of a standard radar. It also is from pilot mycast on a phone from Cingular. So, when I meet up with Langford on April 15th for our trek to SNF we'll have on board, in Doug's plane, a new GNX80, new Garmin audio panel for Doug to play with, Mark has his his new Garmin 196, I'll have my new Monroy 200 air traffic detector and cell weather.........................heck with all those new toys on board we'll probably strangle ourselves in all the wires:-) Dana Overall 1999 & 2000 National KR Gathering host Richmond, KY i39 RV-7 slider, Imron black, "Black Magic" Finish kit 13B Rotary.
