I would think that all the ETS systems will have to bring out the chips eventually or else whats the point in having these life rings that hold them.

I hope so, get peeeeeeeeeeed of chopping and changing ring's from old to young bird's for some of the careful flyer's in our club, Tight bar stewards.  8) :K) : :-/ ;D > :'( :X ??) :D :D :D

Do you know I wonder if it's not as malicious as you think, it used to be if you had a race stary in and it rested, you would remove a rubber to signify the bird had been in and of course in repect of the 500 mile races they would be double rung so would stilll have one to clock. Or am I being too kind?

[REDCHEQHEN]

it does actually say NPO on the ETS, and is part of the ring by the looks of it

[Guest slugmonkey]

they are advertising universal ets rings here and I know the new benzings ( express, and M1 ) will read unikon chips

[Guest Owen]

slugmonkey,

are you saying that we are able to use other than Bricon rings on our Bricon system? Because if that is true, it is great news. It will help to prevent profiteering which is the big temptation now with the big Companies. I have always been suspicious that the Manufacturers will not have the incentive to give us a chipped life ring because it would stop their income source from selling rings.

I believe a Scottish club are trying out the new  register ring with a chip fitted to it, this young bird season

Sounds as if this is not the same as I have,the Bricon one actually clips on the the side of the RPRA ring.

I thought the word " compatible " meant that it had to work with all systems.  I know my Benzing ET rings work on Bricon and Tauris base units.  The sad thing is that if your pigeon goes in a loft and has it's chip removed, it can be used on the "thiefs" ETS. They say they are tryng to incorporate the ET ring into the registration ring, I can see the downfall of that being that once the pigeon has been ringed, it's got it for life.  If you have a team of youngsters go backwards and you have to lose them, you will lose the ET ring as well unless you can use them on other babies. I'm afraid it's a tale of if's and buts.  I think I would prefer things as they are.

The idea is for everyone to have the new ring and then  those that have ETS would thenl buy the chip for whichever system they have as you do now and then place the chip into the hole on the life ring this would then be allocated the same as we do now.

The chips would be able to be taken out of the life ring and used on another bird.

Hi Pigeon-Man,

                      Yep, I think I've misunderstood the using of a life ring.  I thought the registration ring we all put on our pigeons, would have the ET chip No incorporated in it, just like a swipe card and therefore could not be removed. Still a long way to go then.

if I have that right, we would still have no way of preventing the theft that we have now?
