I bought the Classic just over a year ago - and have just renewed our licence - on behalf of a group owned aircraft. Apart from random difficulties in getting it to first link with SkyDemon, running on my iPad mini (I have learnt to not start the engine until I am fully set up) it has performed faultlessly.
Apart from adding, generally, to my awareness of other aircraft in the vicinity, I have personally made a precautionary, but significant, change in height, or direction, as a direct result of a PAW alert, perhaps six times in the last year. Neither I, nor my flying buddy at the time saw the aircraft out of the window every time, but we always saw the the registration and I have no doubt that the warnings were real.
So, I'm a satisfied user and, though there is more competition in the market, I still believe that PAW is the best all round solution, hence my licence renewal. The one negative is, well, the Classic kit does look a bit "Heath Robinson".
Enter Rosetta. Much neater and more professional looking. If I take advantage of the discount, due to when I bought the Classic, it will cost me £138.33 +VAT. About a third off. Thank you PAW.
But, I get an upgraded processor, the Pi 3B, a "tested" (new?) Rosetta Bridge and a new aerial. Plus the box.
Will I see any actual improved performance for my 166 quid - faster identification of other aircraft, or whatever - or is Rosetta mostly about improving looks and robustness? The group only operates one aircraft and the PAW remains Velcroed to the coaming, so we don't need installation flexibility.
I'm a believer, but before I spend more of the group's capital, I'd be grateful for some advice.
