What about integration, telemetry, custom assignability, wireless programming, integration with ECUs, Turbine Fuel flow sensors... there is nothing and we know there is nothing in pipeline. We used to get questions about 18MZ, for last 18 months not a single phone call.
Basic Jeti DS-14 for $700.00 will do 10x more, and I did not even mentioned the Horus for $500.00. I keep my fingers cross that we will see something new, maybe one day.
Actually the real problem is you continue to bash other manufacturers as you promote your own brand. I was planning on replacing my 18MZ with a Jeti 24, but I can't stand your attitude, so I may not. I know of at least half a dozen local jet pilots who were interested in the Jeti radio, but have been turned off by you.
My comparison was based on 4 DX18s that had to be returned because of screen failures. That shouldn't happen to any radio regardless of cost.
