CE and FCC Certification

Every XC Tracer Maxx III and Mini V carries the FCC and CE marks. To most pilots they look like fine print. To us, they're proof of something you can actually feel in the air.

Two devices, one line: The image below shows the raw tracklogs of two Maxx III, flown on the same pilot at the same time — straight from the devices, no post-processing. What looks like a single line…

…is in fact two. Two independent devices, recording almost exactly the same track — you only notice the two lines when you zoom right in. That isn't luck. It's the visible result of clean, low-noise design: the very same engineering that gets an instrument through certification also lets its GPS receiver deliver a rock-solid track.

What certification really tests: To pass FCC and CE, an instrument has to keep its own electronic noise firmly under control. That same discipline decides how well the sensitive GPS receiver inside can do its job. The quieter the electronics, the cleaner the reception — and the more precise and stable your position, your altitude, and your tracklog turn out to be.

CE and FCC certified: Both the Maxx III and the Mini V are FCC and CE certified — designed and built in Switzerland to the standard pilots expect from XC Tracer.
