| Notice to all Benzing ETS users. Benzing has announced that effective January 30, 2013 they will no longer produce the BR electronic chip rings. The only chip rings that they will produce will be the PRO chips and the ICOM chips (which can be inserted into blank AU or IF bands.) Benzing equipment will continue to support the BR chips through the end of 2014, but effective March 1, 2015 Benzing clocks and club units will no longer support the BR chip ring, only the PRO and ICOM chips will continue to be supported by Benzing equipment. Effective immediately we are removing the BR chip rings from our site. We will continue to inventory the BR chips through the end of 2012, but orders for BR chips will have to be placed by phone. The PRO chips are currently .10 to .15 cents cheaper and will work on all Benzing clocks and club units that have had the latest software updates installed. To check whether your clock or club unit is running a software that will accept the PRO rings, you can refer to the chart below. We receive a lot of questions regarding how often a fancier should update his Benzing clock. In general it is suggested that a software update be performed every two years. This also applies to the club units. Benzing's older model club units (where the CAN and club point are separate pieces) will NOT be able to handle the newer type rings that Benzing has in the production pipeline for the future, so it is strongly suggested that if your club is still using an older model club unit you contact Siegel's at your earliest convenience to discuss trading your unit in for replacement. This schedule will allow for continued seamless and problem-free enjoyment of your racing hobby. |

There is a new printer available at Office Depot and other retail outlets that works well with our Benzing club units and clocks. It is the Brother HL-5370 DW. |

Split
seconds sometimes separate the winners from the losers. With a traditional
clock, there is no way to time several birds within seconds of one another,
but with a Benzing electronic timer, you can achieve flawless clocking
of several birds "on the drop." No more wasted seconds in catching the
pigeon, removing the countermark from the pigeon’s leg, putting it into
the clock, and turning the handle before moving on to the next pigeon
that’s been waiting to be clocked. |

Fanciers
who use either the M-1, Atis or Express electronic timing system have
several other important advantages over traditional clocks. You can clock
several races simultaneously. Record your week-day training tosses, for
smarter pooling the night of the basketing. Or when a pigeon race conflicts
with a family outing or a fishing trip or a football game, the M-1, Atis
or Express electronic timing system will clock all your birds for you.

We
even know of some guys who have fallen asleep on race day while they’re
waiting on the birds to come in, and because they had a Benzing system,
they didn’t miss a pigeon. And the race information stored in the M-1,
Atis or Express system is secure and cannot be manipulated. Read on to
find out more about your choice of Benzing systems, the key differences
between the M-1, the Atis and the Express, and the various features that
can be tailored to your loft and your budget. |
