Lightspeed comes with a a 3 yr warranty. Bose has no support if you have problems. Have had lightspeed for a few years now and couldn't fly without it.

Funny. Worth leaving it here.

Another Tool yes, but maybe better suited for the built up areas of Southern California.

Sure Steve if you enjoy giving the Government 40% of your paycheck. ;-)

I'm 42 non smoker and spend 90% of my time at the end of a longline. Been in the industry for 20yrs. I have 2 young kids and a wife who depend upon me.
