Hi:
I just installed one on my MkV a few months ago. The instructions were adequate, installation was easy. The unit works fine. There does seem to be some concern about problems occuring after a few years of use and problems with customer service. The entire unit was only $25 (US) more than a replacement masthead sender for the Signet 1500 on the vessel, so it was a no brainer for me.
Good Luck,
Tony Jeske

I installed the wireless windspeed thingie last May. For the most part it has given me reliable service. I found one really oddball problem of losing the signal, three different times, when I was sailing to the lee of Beausoleil Island in southeastern Georgian Bay. A Tacktick rep in the US phoned me promptly when I reported it and it was a head-scratcher. There were no obvious sources of signal interference, although I think the channel can be interfered with by radio-control toys. The rep told me they'd had some issues in San Diego where there was interference from naval operations, but he couldn't think of a reason for why I was having such a locally specific problem. We'll see what it's like in 2010.Doug Hunter
