Good question John. A number of people are beta testing ST3 - it is currently up to "u" as testers find bugs and they are corrected. As well, Greg has been making a number of changes to accommodate argo navis users. The other thing slowing down finalisation was Windows releasing Vista in the middle - while Greg had already attempted to make ST3 backwards compatible from Vista, it was not until a number of testers installed under Vista that the final checks could be made and changes made to the program.

I have been one of the beta testers for the Real Time implementation. I must admit, I prefer ST3 to ST2 and can understand your reluctance to start with ST2 and then upgrade to ST3 later.

Once released though, I can recommend it for its ease of use, adaptability and accuracy. Greg is being very thorough to ensure that the demands of users are satisfied.

Cheers
