Brian, I have to agree with you. UNIKON does seem to have the edge on Bricon. Although you can use the Duo as expat1 mentions you still have to use cable to connect to it – Bricon and the other ETS systems are a little old fashioned for my liking. I get fed up with the spaghetti of wires behind by PC, can’t be doing with them in the loft. I spoke to Unikon’s UK HQ today they mentioned that UNIKON users can also use multiple pocket clocks on the same system. Could be very useful if you can’t get to different marking stations at the same time. However it’s the cordless approach that’s miles ahead with Unikon- If I am going to invest in ETS I want what’s going to be reliable, it’s obvious to me that connectors are going to give problems especially in the loft environment. Expat1, I know that you are enthusiastic about bricon, but seriously you must admit that the Unikon cordless pocket clock is better. So far I just haven’t seen anything that Bricon can do better than Unikon Charlie

Pompey, Other systems are approved in Scotland. I 2nd that, we need a comparison table of all the systems. I have looked at all the systems to date, and for me UNIKON is the only one that really stands out from the crowd. I can’t be doing with a fiddly connector every time I need to attach the clock to the pads. That’s got to spell trouble, either money or lost races. UNIKON’s pocket clock is the only one I know with no connectors – this has to be more reliable in the long run. Saving money and the race! As for compatibility with Univers 1.7, UNIKONs universal club system is far simpler to use that the Bricon club master (So this puts to bed any idea that the BE was was better for the UK), certainly UNIKONs answer will make clock setters lives easy, regardless of the ETS Clock. I was told that UNIKON developed this for the UK flyer (Not sure what they are really saying by keeping it simple!) Nevertheless, its free should only one member in a club start with UNIKON, they also include a free radio clock. I was also looking into the ring side of things to try and learn more. Charlie
