Weatronic is a dead end street. There is no more production. Once inventory dries up, you will not be able to purchase receivers or accessories. One of the best features of Weatronic was their continued software development. There is none anymore, they are gone.
The Weatronic BAT 60 has shortcomings that were supposed to eventually be addressed in software upgrades. Ie. the BAT 60 cannot use the built in receiver gyros. No access to RF logs etc. There will be no more updates. It's done.
I used Weatronic gear for 3 years. The gear was very good for the most part but, there were short comings.
I highly recommend that you consider Jeti. It has most, if not all of the safety features of Wea plus many, many benefits over the Wea system. AND it is still being regularly updated. I love mine, quite frankly it blows my Weatronic gear away.
