Ets advice

[neila]

Not had the Ets before but thinking of getting one the cub doesn’t have one either so I would probably have to buy any requirements the club would need as I would have to just race for fed honours but use my cub mark

what ones do members recommend and what kind of cost would I be looking at for basic set up

thanks for any advice  

[Mattydoos79]

Unikon are popular among clubs but the basic are cost around £300 to 400 but there are second hand ones from 150 upwards just look around but I’m sure your club can help too 

[airdrie2]

check what systems  your club has or uses you could buy a system  and club dont know how to use it ,if not the same as theres

[neila]

Thank you so upnto  £400 will give me the clock and a pad ? Plus any connections etc 

how much would the clubs requirements be ? I think I would have to pay for that as the clubs not keen on ETS and I would think doubtful that they club will invest i equipment

I wouldn’t recommend the Unikon system to any one trying to purchase a system. The problems that we have seen this year after their last upgrade. Think the software is so old,they are only patching it to keep it going.  
If buying a new system they usually give the club system on loan to the club.

Why is your club not keen on ETS? It’s the latest way of clocking in your birds also this is 21st century not the stone ages anymore

They are very much against it but I would like it even if I race for fed cards and not club cards

So does your club not have anybody on ets? 

[Gizard]

I’d be looking for a different club, sound like they are stuck in the stone ages

That is all you would need, but your club would need a club system as well.

Would that be the ring marker device or another expensive item ?

[Kyleakin Lofts]

Ring Marker plus. I don't have Unikon, but someone who does should be able to explain.

[neila]

Thank you 

[jbee]

You would require a ring marker plus a base station. In Scotland most of the base stations are the older profi . Most of the new base stations are the champ. The champ ets clock works in the profi club base station but the profi clock does not fit in the champ base station. The Unikon champ,Bricon and benzing systems allow member to input their own ring numbers,colours and sex. The profi requires Unikon software on lab top to do the above.

hope this helps

Benzing G2 clocks require the software on the laptop and require a Club system to be used in conjunction with this. The M2 allows the member to do it themselves.
