SO WOULD EXPECT NO PROBS,, THEY HAVN'T CHANGED THE CHIP JUST THE HOLDER.. JUST MY OPINION,, GOODLUCK FOR TUESDAY PHIL.. ANT
pjc Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 if its implanted it would be difficult to reuse on another bird if required! Phil
pjc Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 But ETS has been advetised for years without approval so that doesn't mean they are! I think they are a great improvement as long as they can not fall off! Looking forward to Tuesday, at least the weather looks good. Phil
harky Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 if its implanted it would be difficult to reuse on another bird if required! Phil aye true .just a thaught .you never know what technology holds for us in the future

pjc Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 i'm looking forward to the invention of cheap, light weight tracking devices to see where the poxy birds do end up! Now that would be interesting! Phil

THE FIFER Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 PHIL i WOULD EXPECT SO AS THEY ARE BEING ADVERTISED,, ITS THE SAME AS THE OLD ONE (THE SAME CHIP) JUST DIFFERENT HOLDER THATS ALL.. SO WOULD EXPECT NO PROBS,, THEY HAVN'T CHANGED THE CHIP JUST THE HOLDER.. JUST MY OPINION,, GOODLUCK FOR TUESDAY PHIL.. ANT good rings, but will the unions not miss out on ring sales now. if the clock dealers are now selling them,
pjc Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 The WHPU have lifted the restriction on ring purchases and we can buy direct from manufacturers of approved systems. Phil
Lennut Tar Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 good rings, but will the unions not miss out on ring sales now. if the clock dealers are now selling them, Maybe so !!!!!! but if the union makes them pay a registration fee for each ring before they can race them etc, I would imagine they would be no worse off in the end. Enjoy.
Delboy Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 I think the future will see metal rings with built in E.T.S chips
ALF Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 I think the future will see metal rings with built in E.T.S chips AGREED AND WHY ARE THESE NEW CLIP RINGS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY SMALLER NOT ANY CHEAPER????
chichichi Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Posted April 19, 2008 alf have been told the cost of the ring is the chip,, the plastic that holds it cost nothing,, so the same chip is used so same price,, Bricon are leading the way in ETS,,, goodluck all racing today ant
sapper756 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 I believe that a ring with the info of an everyday ring issued by unions and put on birds as youngsters,will soon carry a chip. So only one ring, that stays with the bird the rest of it,s life. I heard that these were being tested this year, where I am not sure, so these would be issued by the unions, obviously at a higher price than todays registration ring, but no need to purchase the extra ETS ring. Certainly the way ahead I believe
pjc Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Sapper, i understand all unions have been supplied samples of life rings with built in chips. It will make life easier but will the cost then be reduced? If we are paying 26p approx per union ring and £1.10 per ETS ring a combined ring should cost arround 75p due to increased production of chips should reduce costs! Who wants to bet the cost won't come down? Phil

Certainly the way ahead I believe I agree. 1 ring that does everything, less jewelry for the bird to carry. The owners club and union registration / loft number are also always with the bird, so maybe help sharpen up stray reporting arrangements too.

Certainly the way ahead I believe Some time back there was a picture of the said ring on the forum,the ring would be sold without the chip in for people who didn,t use ETS,the chip would be purchased seperate and clipped in the hole on the side of the ring,perhaps someone can find the picture.

Yes you are right, I do recall that m8 ;)
PIGEON_MAN Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Is it the picture under ring innovation http://forum.pigeonbasics.com/m-1132658017/s Think there as been a more recent picture than that one Rose think the ring was a light green but I cant find it.
