Ets clock got water on it

a real sickner was his 1st bird not in the running to win the section

 

pity he hadnt set a second clock as a backup like a lot do

[Henrik]

What make of ETS was it?

[frank-123]

i always get a second clock done

so many dont bother now but why take the chance harsh lesson learned for this guy

ets clocks or rings can still have problems just like like manual clocks

[Guest pigeon82]

there was a bloke in our area on saturday first bird into town and the birds ring wouldnt register this bird was in at 2 it took him 30 mins to work out what was wrong but by that time a bloke had timed another bird in so he ended up 2nd in the town the bird had been down and was dirty chip wudnt read past it

It's OK to have a 2nd clock as a stand by if your ETS dont work! But how can you use a T3 as a2nd clock if you dont have any paper work or rubbers on the pigeons?

[Williedoo]

The pigeon had a rubber on aswell.

if your national flying and useing ets you have a rubber on thier leg aswell

if not useing ets you have 2 rubbers on thier legs

 

all rubber numbers are recorded at marking

 

this is for national races with the snfc

Got to ask, how did it get water on it. I thought these things would at least be showerproof. Having spilt a drinker or 2 on an old STB.

Bad luck for John. Pity the pigeons will never really get the credit they deserve, no disrespect to the other great N sect birds on the result.

Doesn't sound right to me! Some members leave ETS rings on birds 24/7, do there birds never have a bath?

If water could effect ETS rings members would be advised to remove them!

[Bluedoo]

"Ets clock got water on it" from earlier in the post,that was my reason for asking.

[BLACK W F]

from what i hear he runs it off his van connected to the battery he had the clock and base station under the van the well was filled with water unlucky but elects and water dont mix

[sapper756]

I think this should be a lesson to all of us, myself included as I do not set a second manual clock when taking part in the National raceshttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

 

But will do in the futurehttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif however if a fellow fancier lived nearby and was using a manual clock, he could have placed his rubber in this members clockhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

No you're right there. I was just curious as to whether these things had any resistance to water at all.

[WHITTY]

i could be wrong but can you not get the birds times of the memory if its a unicon ets whyether it stops or not
