How does this compare to the radian rxt? Has anyone used them both?

The Radian allows for a higher weight limit RF (although most kids will not reach it). The NextFit has a lower RF weight limit, but a higher RF height limit than the Radian. NextFit is the 2nd tallest in RF height (after the Graco Headwise/Size4Me/MySize/Fit4Me). So, if your child is very tall but not super heavy, go for the NextFit (or one of the aforementioned Graco seats). If your child is chunky but not that tall go for the radian. Regardless, both seats will see your child RF to about 4yo (NHTSA recommendation is rear face to at least age 2, and as close to age 4 as possible). The Radian has lower sides, the NextFit has a no-rethread harness. NextFit has an easier LATCH install. Radian has a booster seat option, but it's almost useless since it is outgrown for most children at the same time as the forward facing harness. Both Radian (with the optional angle adjustor) and NextFit tend to fit well behind tall people or in smaller cars. ETA: NextFit harness is a little trickier to adjust around the child - especially in seats manufactured before Oct 2013. Check out Car Seats for the Littles on Facebook or on their blog for more car seat info and reviews of both seats. (I'm not affiliated with them, just a fan)

I have both- you can read my earlier review. But I would take the Radian over the Nextfit any day of the week. We find the Nextfit very difficult to tighten- like impossible and the sides are so high it is very difficult to get a wiggling toddler in and out without hitting her head on the door frame. I really wish we had purchased two Radians instead of a nextfit and a Radian

One difference is cost. The trx seems to be more durable and easier to adjust, but the Woss unit that I got ended up being about fohrty dollars with shipping.

The GPS unit and the lifetime AURA subscription. The actual detectors themselves are identical with both being 9965's.Just need to ask yourself if the GPS capability is important to you.

You can get the Radian as either RTF version or Plug and Play version. RTF is minor assembly but otherwise ready to fly with included DX-5 transmitter (probably an AR 500 receiver)(Cost is $249.99). Supply your own radio and battery for the Plug and Play version, otherwise ready to fly (Cost is $159.99).

The one I purchased is BDC and I like it very much. Don't know what the "Nikoplex reticle" is all about.Nobody Poofreads any more.

I bought mine for astronomy also. The red brightness is good for city astronomy and a bit bright for really dark skies. Too bad streamlight didn't allow the red LED to be dimmed like the white LEDs. It's still excellent for astronomy.

Obviously 420 lumens is brighter than 300 . Other than costing more, I would say brighter is better. Maybe it drains the battery a little faster. The Cygolite website should have the specs on this. Also, you don't always have to use it at full power. There are a few settings, but I always use Steady Pulse, which is 300 lumens PLUS a flashing light, for maximum visibility.

I had the RM when it first came out and returned quickly when I found the screen unreadable in anything besides subdued lighting. Databases are likely similar. They may have improved the RM, but I find the Garmin to be far better to work with.

I have both. I *LOVE* both. I say if you need room, go with Radian, If you have the room and your child has outgrown the 45lb weight limit or nearing it to RF in the Radian, go with Britax (Frontier 90) Both HIGHLY HIGHLY rated for safety and overall so either one is great.Radian over Frontier:- Child is less than 3-4yrs old.- Child is below 45 RF weight limit (of the radian, Frontier doesn't RF)- If you need more room- If you plan on flyingFrontier over Radian:- Child is over 3-4yrs old.- Child is at or near the 45 RF weight limit (of the radian, Frontier doesn't RF)- If your child is on the "bigger" side I have both.

The fenix 2 pretty much does what the forerunner does plus more. For me, looks better than the Suunto Ambit 2, although they are pretty much the same watch. As a fitness watch garmin does a better job of cataloging your workouts and displaying in various formats. Paired with the HRM it's definitely the way to go.

I have been using the Tamron for astro for a while now. I am very happy with the results. I stop mine down to f8 so it is a little slow but works fine. I wish I could post an image here but do not see a way to do so. Moon shots should be no problem.

The difference is in the remote. The FFRE1233Q1 includes a temperature sensing remote. This model does not include the temperature sensing feature. IMHO, the temperature sensing doesn't work that well anyway, and is something of a gimmick, so buy this one and save $30. But it's your call...

I been using it with the veralite, I can control just about everything with vera except for programming, that you can do that through eyezon. You can create scene using the alarm sensors though vera. I have mine setup when I'm in away mode if any sensor is trip vera will. Alert me regardless If the actual alarm is arm or not, there is a lot you can do. It's just a learning experience. I'm using it with ui7 and dsc alarm.

The difference between the two models, the XRS 9965 and the XRS 9970G is that the latter includes GPS and can detect "RED LIGHT" camera zones and other speed traps, the "AURA" database is free to update for the lifetime of the unit. It's definitely worth the extra few bucks.

The max if given a choice. Escort will likely support it better since it's their newest product. It had a few bugs when introduced, and they may have fixed them by now. I own both, but put the max on the shelf because I didn't have time to do the upgrades to fix the minor stuff that I had problems with. Range was same for. Oth but red light camera locations came up quicker with ix

Yes, the DX4e will work with the UMX Radian. If you upgrade I would recommend the DX6i, but for the money I would recommend the Orange Rx T-SIX, it is compatible with all Spektrum receivers and is a fraction of the cost and is of equal quality in my opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PxeVMFaeiU

I have been ordering BXA ones, both Aloris (which is the style) and off brands seem to work just well. The Aloris ones have some neat features but don't come cheap, just an FYI on that one. There are some 10-15 dollar ones floating around if you look and they work great! Let me know if you need anything else.
