I registered my youngsters and clubmates also Rab

When I was on holiday and training them my mate Jim and my lassie Julie were at the loft

They said each day that 3 were not registering I put it down to the speed they trapped lol

Turned out 3 rings not working although printout stated all had activation code on printout

Re swiped the 3 rings and synchronised clock

All well now

Derek have you checked there's no a wee film of muck covering the chip have had that happen before

Delboy, check that you have the chip facing down towards the pad I've had

rings that wouldn't scan and when I turned them round they scanned no problem.

Happened to Billy Gordon with the bricon system. His birds were not registering. One of his birds never registered which cost him a ticket out of Ypres. I had a faulty unikon pad I sprayed it with wd40 I gave my unikon system to Davie Hannah and Gordon Cook and it hasn't failed once this season. People need to learn ETS is not bullet proof. Get a clock set as back up for the big races.

[geordie1234]

Put rings on my ybs and clocked all from training next day went to the club to mark them one wouldn't scan

[Delboy]

I maintain the system Frank, all my points and connections are wd40 every year and then sealed with tape.Ive had the ets since 2001 so know the script.

I know you do Derek I heard of some dodgy rings to

Gerry Mcfall had a couple fail. The pad I was talking about I split the pad and sprayed inside to take the moisture out. Jim Hannah told me to do that.

true Frank

if pad has a split in it ..dry it out ..then seal it up with a bit of silicone rubber which will stay flexible when weather changes

canny say i have heard of a pad splitting......plenty duff rings....and few clocks going flat half way through the season tho.....

[Guest big50cal]

I had over ten ring like this and they would not refund me it's sh**

[WulDon]

technology will always fail at some point, from the many 1000's systems used by UK fanciers and the 100,000's rings used every year I think there strike rate cant be bad!

 

I always face the black chip downwards and have only found the odd one 'clogged' with $hit sometimes wont register, but hey ho that's life... even a brand new car or boiler still under warranty can fail at some point!

 

I certainly wouldn't be trading it in or ripping it off the wall and replacing due to some minor fault!!!

[walterboswell59]

i had two or three not register from the fed toss yesterday again was thinking its because to many birds on the pad at same time not picking them all up but thats not the case with dells took 12 back to shu 4 years ago still not had any word from them ill have to swipe mine one at a time to check them as there all reg at club marking

Well one has to make a choice ... For certain Unikon won't help a jot. Their after sales, as most now know to their horror, are none existent.

Mind have seen - after a few days, where Unikon was taking a lot of flack on a pigeon site where they actually helped!

Bricon After sales care is top class
