unikon or tauras ets ?????????

[just ask me]

personally id go with what the rest of the club is going with makes it easier on people that has to work with these machines

[jack]

 

Could you explain Jack why it is years ahead of the rest of the systems out there, :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

 

 

Only difference i can see between them is at the marking station were Unikon is just that little bit more user friendly.

 

 

unikon have being around for over 20 years now

[jack]

Must say had alot of problems the last 3 weeks getting a signal with Unikon,the green and red buttons are flashing after a while but when you connect the rest up it says no signal.

 

but your club system on the ground with noting pluged in and you will get it

[LISTER]

unikon without a doubt get what u pay for does what it says on the tin    

[LISTER]

I use bricon and run tauris,,unikon,,bricon and benzing M1,, the 2 best ones are bricon and unikon,, tauris is huge and you have to press things before it will clock in.. all the others just plug in.. also the tauris only prints 1 copy at a time all the others can do the desired amount without going back into the clock..

 

tauris - huge and needs you to press buttons to clock and lots of buttons to press to basket also..

 

benzing M1 - very good but back up service is rubbish,, very expensive also..

 

unikon - very good,, but every year they need a few updates,, pocket clock will only work with unikon master,,

 

bricon - very good,, also needs an update each year..

 

the prices for them all are massive,, these systems should be much cheaper..

 

If you are choosing between tauris and unikon ,, unikon will win everytime,, but bricon is just as good ..

 

best of luck

hello a little off thread but with this ets systems do your birds trap quick. every video i have seen using the ets have been slow but i have never seen in the flesh so to speak just i use open door and i think its quicker the cock birds knock out the back of the loft any views. thanks

[LISTER]

guess if you  in pigeons to save money you in  wrong sport JMO no offense a totally reliable system is what i need  

[chichichi]

200 to 300 quid will but you most of the systems at a basic level.. the problem is you can only use a very small pad with these systems,, its ok If you fly to a single loft with a small hole for an entry.. most people who fly to a sputnick will need a pad of 18" and the wider 28" for the 6 hole sputnick..

 

best of luck

[van Roberts]

no offence taken but the uinikon i think is groossly overpriced a friend of mine just bought one chap 500 , a battery ,solar panel extra pad and a lead its the best part of 700 pounds got it up and running few weeks ago and guess what first pigeon home didnt register this happened 3 out of last 4 races

[chichichi]

ets will not get the birds home any quicker,, what it does is stop the young ones becoming trap shy and its great to see the birds have no fear when coming back.. listening for the bleep is also very nearve racking..

 

best of luck what ever system you get,, but learn the system inside out.. get your systems in the close season and use them over the winter.. play with them and learn to overcome any problems,,

its not because on the 3 occasions the bird was picked up and passed over pad again and it registered then

[jack]

could he get a round the pat or hop over it and is the pad setting under the landing bord right

[david.j]

no the bird has to walk directly over it through tunnels i reckon the pad is dodgy

[jack]

yes that could be it

 

you can get a pad tester

[No 1]

Has he got two pads side by side ?

[david.j]

no just one 2 field pad

[No 1]

no the bird has to walk directly over it through tunnels i reckon the pad is dodgy  

 

 

So do I.

[Guest WINGS 04]

i have had both ets unikon and tauras i like that you can go to the club and the unikon will still time in the birds that are a bit behind that is all i can see the difrens in them but i think you can bye somthing to go with the tauras to do this aswell

[PIGEON_MAN]

We have been using this now for 3 seasons so we do know how to use it but still get problems.

[Roundo]

I used the TauRIS system for three years with no problems, but when I moved clubs at the beginning of the year I changed to Unikon, as this was the one they use.

So having now used both systems I would have to say that Unikon would be my 1st choice.

If it wasn't for the pigeon politics in my previous Club I'm sure it would have been Unikon from the start, but that's all in the past........well for me it is!!!!!!  :X :P

 

At the end of the day, as long as the system clocks the birds on race day.

Hi Ant

 

Your posts on ETS have always been neutral and informative as my own have but thought best to correct you on some of the Tauris information that you have supplied.

 

When you connect the Tauris up at the loft no buttons are required to be pressed, pigeons will start to record within a few seconds of connection.

And as of 2009 you get the option to press how many copies you want to print with the pre set number being set at 2.

 

 

Cheers

Gareth

 

 

PS

Will need to get a wheel barrow for my Tauris clock since its that huge, some fanciers like a clock that resembles a clock rather than a packet of ciggies. JMO   ;) :P ;D ;D ;D ;D 8) 8)
