Hi Cristine the site is www.batforblind.co.nz The advantages of the K Sonar is that it seems much cheaper than the Ultracane, for me at least, as the exchange rate is better. The other thing is that the K Sonar people claim that it is better, using sounds more effectively, whereas the UC only uses vibrations and doesn't have wide beams.
