Does any one know if the Skydat GX2 gives indicated airspeed or true airspeed

Looks like its IAS only.

The manual can be found here:

ASI always gives airspeed as indicated airspeed. True airspeed is a speed relative to earth due to air density to give a more workable solution on calculations for a nav, but indicated airspeed is always used to show how much air is moving over the wings and to indicate VNE.

Thanks wargames,
The question was does the Skydat give TAS or IAS

Forgot to mention that the skydat is a ASI and thus shows you IAS.
