Hi Fred, I looked into Tacktick for some time and recently purchased their entry level wind system T033. The T033 wind system went for $619. The standard wind system T101 went for about $1,100. Both systems use the same T120 mast wind transmitter. The entry level system uses the T030 display which requires a 12V supply whereas the standard system uses the T112 which is solar powered. Other than the power supply, the two displays are similar. An extra $400+ is a lot the convenience of solar.
Raymarine now owns Tacktick, and I have heard that they are retiring the entry level systems because sales of the T101 has dropped like a rock(no real surprise). There are still some T033 systems available but they are rapidly disappearing. - Paul E.
