Stupid Question About Purchasing WX-WORX Receiver

[Jason Persoff]

I have been contemplating buying ThreatNet as it has clearly changed the chasing world (not this year of course, but in any case...). I have looked through the marketplace and see good deals there from other chasers. But, while I was using Froogle.Com to look at new units, I found this link:

http://www.avshop.com/prodinfo.asp?number=...%20%20%20%20USB

Can someone take a looksy and see if I'm crazy. Is this what I'd need (minus activation and subscription) for Wx-Worx? They're asking a ridiculously low amount for bluetooth ($430!!!)

Thoughts?

Jason, the bluetooth option is under 'options' so when you add it to your cart the amount goes to $680. This system does not come with the software either.

Jason, if you notice down on the webpage, this offer of 430 is only for the hardware not the software which according to the wxworx site, they want 550bucks for the software. So i can give you a site that has both hardware and software for 700 bucks i believe, i'll link it for you. Also, i bought a system off ebay and it didnt have software and the guy i bought it from had them send me the software, and he says it was 10 dollars so that may be an avenue to go down which would make it 440 bucks for you. My receiver has issues and i will be sending it in for repair this week. he tech support at wx worx has been great so far to me.

That is so bizarre...You are correct about it bumping to $680 w/ bluetooth. So, I reran the calculation with USB and it turns out the USB one is $430. Didn't really realize the software, according to the WxWorx site, currently runs $275 (base) to $550 (premium). Knew it seemed "too good" to be true

Thx!!!

Thanks, Eric. Actually the mobiletech site above is selling the package for $800. There's a used unit that I'm considering buying so it's a tough call.
