The SHU should know where your nearest Club System is located.

If you get stck for a GPS

The RPRA accept Google earth coordinates and adjust as required .Not sure if the SU do though ?

Download Google earth,zoom in to you loft ( Secretary or club official )

Mark with yellow marker,Lat and Long will show in box.Save as JPEG NOT PNG.(Smaller file)

See photo.

Lindsay, the SHU don't accept this. It has to be done with a SHU calibrated Benzing Club System.

I have yet to receive the damaged system. An amount of system sensors are broken, battery connections and batteries that have gone missing ,in fact all the small batteries are now missing. I have just repaired a set of battery connections yesterday. The SHU will have to purchase more sensors as we have no spare sensors in stock due to the amount that have been damaged. Please if you collect and use a system look after it .

how old are these systems dougie ? and do we need tae order the sensors from a certain vendor? batteries can be ordered online. need to put a logout book in place so you need tae sign for it so they can be held responsible for loss or damage

Tommy, You are right about the log book. Some fanciers who collect the systems appear to then just pass the system to someone else and before you know it no one takes responsibility when the system is damaged or they hold on to the system until we try to track it down. The log book would make the first person responsible.

Well done John

[Joe_b]

Why is it not getting returned to shu as when we get it has to be returned the same day or next day at latest

[b.massey]

Aye needed in bonnyrigg club also but can’t seem to get it

[airdrie2]

there dosent seem to be tabs kept on them there was 16 sets of benzing club bases which gps works off as far as i know handed into shu but a struggle to get one

and nationals dont have any base stations whos got them ?

[Henrik]

I still dont know why this was railroaded through at the SHU meeting, Clubs should be able to purchase their own ones, ie Garmin, the bull that was spouted about Benzing using 10 or more satellites when a GPS uses only three and the base being used to triangulate the position, the members at that meeting were duped, as they were,nt clued up on what was being said to them. And being only an observer at the meeting you are not allowed to say anything.

I do not know where you receive your information from. The SHU received 5 systems from Jim Savage not 16.The sensors are now costing the SHU over £100 each.

[Henrik]

Dougie, its time to ditch the benzing and allow other makes that do the same job

should maybe even consider a deposit as well.
