Albear Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 I'm really struggling with the purchase of an ets system. I've read the Unikonv Bricon v Taurus debate and am still not sure. I've asked all for quotes earlier this week and Taurus replied in hours, the other two nothing perhaps the best sellers are not interested in selling to one loft? But what about Tipes does anyone use it. I had a look earlier and I tell you what appeals to me and that is their texting facility. Now before anyone says texting is a waste of money, my aim is long distance if you us ets from Barcelona for example you have to time in on a conventional clock within 10 minutes on a conventional clock. The NFC have sent out a referendum for Tarbes asking if members want to fly the Tarbes international again you will need to time in on a conventional clock as well as ets. My loft is in a field a couple of miles away with absolutely no facilities, waiting there for several days is not an option, however with ets and the text facility that would help me tremendously. Back to Tipes, they don't need you to purchase a mobile to put in your loft, they have their own little gizmo that can send the text, that did appeal. I also read th following:- Of the German fanciers 65% use TIPES approx 3 Times bigger than the Belgium market The Speed of TIPES antenna is 10 times faster than any other ETS system, it can clock with a 4 field antenna 16 Pigeons on the same second! TIPES were the first ETS to be developed in the early nineties an was patent and registered in 1992! Motz Computer are the owners of this patent. TIPES ring MC603 are fully produced automatically and tested (with 5 yrs guarantee) Only TIPES have a clone security system, What means NO clone Ring will work on a TIPES Clock The TIPES antenna have the latest technology of all the ETS systems Also I came across the following http://www.racingpigeon.com/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=109 If you don’t have tipes but know the other systems inside out can any of the ets experts, identify any major differences please?
Albear Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Posted November 13, 2009 Apologies I'd just like to bring this back to the top , in case there is someone with info on Tipes who has not seen the post
aye ready Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 one of the clubs in my fed uses the tipes ets,don't know the system myself but i could maybe get you a phone number of one of the members for you's to have a chat
Guest spin cycle Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 to be honest i'm in a similar position....but after thinking about it i think compatability with the likely marking station is more important. i know they are all 'supposed' to be compatible BUT.....??? i heard an anecdotal tale about a clock being 'fried' by a master of a different type...if true then its not worth the hassle/risk. perhaps thats why bricon/unikon arn't to worried as they seem to have it 'sewn up' JMO

Albear Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Posted November 14, 2009 Benzing have a special offer up until the the Blackpool show think it is under £200 One of our members bought one and got a free system for the club Thanks but I believe they don't do texts? which is one of the main reasons for me having ets
andrecrock Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 I must agree with albear in a way.Like many other fanciers i work stupid hours a week and got a young family.Having the text facility would be a great help,not so much for club racing because you can more or less work out the time your birds will get home,were with NFC its a bit harder and to verify with in an hour!!I dont wont to up set the club by buying something different but on the other had i would like to stay in the sport and if that means making things easier for myself buy buying a different system so be it.I am very interested in the tipes but i have not yet got prices for the system,anybody got idees?I have emailed the uk seller ,Matthew just waiting for reply.
