Hi Ray:
I have use Signal/BMI and last year PC Quote. Running PC Quote side by
side BMI showed BMI up to 1 1/2 minutes slower. Also I find that with PC
Quote they do the data storing and if you shut down for what every reason
you get the missing data up reloading your charting program. The charting
program is much easier to correct bad data with is a very rare occurance.
The program is based on Trownsend Realteck III which is a capable charting
program. Cannot remember when the last bad data was received. Also cost is
much lower than Signal or BMI and tech service is excellent compared to my
inability to get a replay from BMI
