PIGEON_MAN Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 Just wondering if anyone used E.T.S.last saturday for the first time,what were your thoughts about the system and did you have any problems at all.We had 5 members in our club use it and everyone seemed to be pleased with it,we had a few problems but i think these will be sorted as the season progresses.(I hope)
davebuttle Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 What kind of problems, and which system? We havent decided on what to use/buy yet. Dave
WulDon Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 used UNIKON ets last year for first time, absolutely brilliant especailly for young birds... this year our entire club now have it and really enjoy the system (even the fanciers that turned there noses up at it initially) puts every body on a level playing field especially your elder fanciers who are not as quick as they used to be, disabled or handicapped cant understand why some fanciers are still up in arms about the system!

DOVEScot Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 This is my fifth season using unikon its fantastic How much is it and where did you get it please
Jumbo Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 Got unikon last year and it's great for training aswell as for the races . Still parade around the garden looking for a bird and still get the same buzz when they are clocked.
PIGEON_MAN Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Posted August 1, 2007 We havent decided on what to use/buy yet. Hi Dave,We used 2 systems in the club Bricon and Unikon,the problems we had i think were mainly down to not having them set up properly in the first place but as the manuals do not give much informasion on setting the club systems up on the computer to start with I found it quite difficult,allthough i must admit the agents of both systems were only to glad to help out,I feel I must mention Ray Knight from Unikon who gave us advice over the phone on a Sunday afternoon when we were assigning members rings,also to Mark Palmer of Bricon who as helped me out with their system.When it comes down to the actual clocking of the birds i dont really think there is much differance in the 2 systems,it,s just little things which are better on the one system than the other.I.E.the one prints the colour of the bird the other doesn,t.even though you have put the colours in to start with.the one will print wether it,s a cock or hen,the other only prints that it,s a hen and leave,s it blank for a cock,one prints a space for pools the other doesn,t.They are only little things I know but some feds might require these things in their rules on the race sheet.

Still parade around the garden looking for a bird and still get the same buzz when they are clocked. got to say jumbo i think you lose a little of the buzz when timing but i guess the birds get a buzz me not chasing them like a madman ;D
