and the customer service is excellent. Lightspeed was started in 1996 by a
group of Tektronix people, and as I have a 1962 Tek 535A oscilloscope in mint
condition that still works perfectly (over 70 vacuum tubes!), I've got a soft
spot for Tek.

I have a Lightspeed 20k and love it except for one thing. I bought it at
Oshkosh last year so it is less than a year old. Left it in the plane and
when I put it on the next day, temp -5 degrees F, the plastic headband
cracked. Lesson learned: don't try to put it on after a cold soak.
Haven't contacted Lightspeed yet but don't anticipate any problems getting
it fixed.
