neila Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattydoos79 Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrie2 Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neila Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbee Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 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. john b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbee Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 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 john b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
