JADE Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 2.87 is for the champ system. 2.86 is for the profi system which most of scotland are using. no problems here so far (touch wood). Could the problems be with the upgrades not carried out correctly or wrong input of data?

T_T Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 No Ian, I'm the only one. I think my friend at the end of the day, people are looking for something that catches their pocket and Unikon was as good as any advertised and they sold/sell a good story. Most people I think avoided the Benzing because of it's price tag. Strange now how bad reports are emerging with Unikon it seems, after they've sold so many.
Ian McKay Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Hi Clive I have been looking at the Benzing G2 seem quite good
T_T Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Hi Ian, I went to a Unicon demonstration and the guy doing it, said the Benzing M1 was an excellent clock. Can't comment on the G2 because I don't know but it is Benzing which should tell us something. I used the Benzing orange case manual clock for years and NEVER had a problem with it. It has been said, that the Benzing M1 is the Rolls Royce of clocks. Each to his own ?
Blue Tooner Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 We are using UNIKON professional (version 2.85) do we upgrade to 2.86? Got letter last week from UNIKON about upgrade but this was for UNIKON CHAMP, it didn't mention anything about upgrade for Unikon professional, but see there is upgrade available for professional to v2.86 on www.pigeon-ets.com. Do we take it or not?
alex wight Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 You will need to update to 2.86 for the proffesional clock. If you dont and you go to Nationals and they are using updated version, it will update yours automatically. Not a problem, but when you go back to your club, you MUST update every other members clocks to the same as yours. You can do this by putting your updated clock into members base stations. I,ve tried to download the 2.86 and pulled my hair out in the process, because it would stop downloading just after 14% ish. So as yet i,ve not managed to upgrade yet. Unikon say that upgrades are going to be available as and when they encounter problems, so as to make the system more efficient. Ipersonally would like them to do trials in the close season so as to take uneccessary pressure from secretaries. Can do with out it.
naedoos Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Updated all our club clocks last night and everything went ok. Things were running well enough up to now so hope this continues. Hope everybody's updates run as smoothly as our went.
naedoos Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 just took everyones clocks home, did them all at once. only took bout half hour
alex wight Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Did you download from the website? i seem to be having problems downloading.
naedoos Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 downloaded from the website to pc, then upgraded base station everything went smoothly enough
naedoos Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 must be a problem with your pc, i've just downloaded it again and it worked ok pm your email address and I'll try sending it to you
alex wight Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Nea doos yer a bloody star lol. I saved it to my laptop and then upgraded the base station whereas i was trying to do it straight to the base station. It got downloaded first time. Thanks again mate.

Spoken to the lads from Methilhaven and St Andrews 2nite, who do the ETS for thier clubs, and they say, they are not doing this update, till it,s more clearer, or after the old birds and b4 the young birds starts.
naedoos Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 As boomerang mentioned earlier, you wont have any choice. As soon as someone from the clubs gets marked at national race, the 1st time the pocket clock goes into your base station it will update it. You'd be better updating it now so you wont be caught out at race marking.
alex wight Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Thats right Brian, when we go to Leicester it will cause problems for everyone who hasnt done it. I think Archie was saying Leven was doing it, we have started to do it tonight. If you do it you wont get caught out mate.

THE FIFER Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Be interested to hear how you get on Alec m8 yes then u can give us one of ur clocks so we can download it onto our station. ;)
naedoos Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Good thinking fifer, makes life easier for everyone and everyones upgraded at the same time.
sapper756 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 See the Unikon rep is on the site at present, wonder if he/she would like to comment :-/
alex wight Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 If any of you boys in Leven are on Mooks transporter tomorrow i,ll get him to drop of my clock for you to update if you want. I,ve done 5 so far and will procede through the week to do the rest. Its working a treat, thanks to Naedoos. I,m using the result programme at the weekends too and its a great way of seeing the result unfold there and then.
