NewsIf your club is running with manual timing, maybe now is the time to upgrade to an AMBrc3 Autocount system. You may have thought that an Autocount system will cost you in the region of £3000. If that was the case then maybe you should know the actual price.
What do you need?
First you need a computer. A top spec Laptop will cost well
under £500. In fact you can buy a very good Dell Laptop for
about £350. You will also need a printer, well that
can cost under £30, just make sure the ink cartridges
don't cost as much as the printer. You might consider a
cheap laser printer. Prices are from around £50 and
the benefit is the prints won't run in the rain.
Next
you will need an AMBrc3 Decoder and Loop. This will cost you £2400.
What about transponders? Years ago this would have doubled the
price of the Timing System. Now the situation is different.
With Personal Transponders the choice is down to the drivers,
if they want to be counted they put a PT in their car. If not
they speak nicely to the Timekeeper to manually count their
laps. That is what he has been doing so far anyway.
All you need now is a Race Program. We sell those as well. We have packages for AMBrc3 Decoders and bbkRC our Windows based Race Program including bundles of Personal Transponder from under £2600.
Trade in your old AMB20
equipment
If you have an AMB20 System we can offer you Personal
Transponders in part exchange. If you send us your AMB20
Decoder and 20 Transponders you will get back 7 AMBrc Personal
Transponders. If you include your charger rack we will add
another 3 AMBrc Personal Transponders. To price up the
cost of your upgrade check the prices in
AMBrc
Components Pricelist. You will need an AMBrc Decoder,
Personal Transponders and Rechargeable Transponders.
