Should I need any further insight? If it's an FAA product then it should be good to go? I can't see why they would even put it out there if they are not going to stand behind it.

I see your point here. But, if it's not printed on the DUAT printout, I still have an out.

I'm glad it's changed for the better...it only had one way to go and that was up. I used WXBrief for everything back when I was a CFI. I haven't had much need for it since I do little to zero civilian flying right now. The next time I do go fly, I will give it another try.
Just tried calling, it took (45 seconds). Then of course my phone dropped the call!
