Hi All,

I just purchased my iFly 720 and was wondering which viersion of skyradar is providing the best value.

The skyradar L goes for $599 but does WX only.

The Skyradar S2 is $749, has WX and traffic on 978 MHZ.

Skyradar D2 is $849 and has WX and traffic on 978 MHZ and 1090 MHZ.

From what I am reading it doesn't seem the iFly 720 is very useful for traffic avoidance.

Which version are any of you using and are you happy with it. I hate to spend $849 for the same level of satisfaction as I would get for $599.00. I would already have an ADBS receiver but I'm still not sure which one is the best value for my dollar.

I have the D2 and the weather looks fine. As you mention, lousy to no traffic visible. However I feel that in the near future traffic may be more readily available and the more advance d2 will be ready rather than having to upgrade

Thanks for the feedback on the WX Dinshaw. I like your point about the possible need to upgrade later also. I noticed when I posted that theprice of the D2 also dropped. I think I have made my mind up and will opt for the D2. I will post later when I get it to let others know how I think it is performing.
