I heard you might need a repeater for tall masts...

Subject: Re: Stus-List Tacktick instruments
Fred,
I purchased the Tacktick T108 wind, speed and depth package last year
and have yet to install the wind instrument on top of the mast. But, I've
tested things thoroughly and I can honestly say the system works wonderfully.
Plusses: Super easy to install -- all wireless and pre-networked.
Displays are easy to read and operate. There's a wealth of information
available from the dual display, from depth to speed to logs to water
temperature. The wind display can be "zoomed in" to show wind angles within a
certain range.
Minusses: The depth alarm will go off a lot, possibly something to do
with how the signal is sent -- suggest the alarm be turned off and just keep an
eye on the display when in shallow waters. If you race, you'll either want to
upgrade to the more professional series or go to a more expensive vendor like
B&G for more precise readings.
For our beer can racing and the cruising we do, this turned out to be a
phenomenal buy.
All the best,
Edd

Do any of you have some thoughts or opinions about the Tacktick wireless
instrument systems?
