I did a number of upgrades including some new instruments. I bought and
installed the Micronet wireless stuff. So far so good. Is anyone else using
these?


Don't have it myself, but sailed with a couple of people who do. The
biggest problem I've seen so far is that they sometimes reset
themselves when off for a long period. Less of a problem IMHO than
running wires, maintainence of same, and calibration problems
associated with wire runs (shorts, surges, impedance match, etc etc
etc).

The next thing I expect hot-shot racers to come up with is a black box
to read the competition's wireless instruments... or maybe a jammer....
