Finally, affordable timing gear that's fun to use!

LINKGATE MF WIRELESS SYSTEM

LinkGate MF is Microgate's premium wireless solution, offering secure, digitally encoded radio transmission at distances up to 9km (approx 5 miles).

LINKGATE MF FEATURES:

Transmit Start and Finish impulses as well as 14 individually identified Intermediate impulses
Acquire up to 16 passing speeds via radio from the same number of acquisition zones
Manage consecutive events with a single transmitter (i.e. the start or finish of a parallel slalom)
Guarantee maximum reliability and accuracy (better than +/- 4/1000 of a second) even when transmission disturbance is particularly severe, thanks to its exclusive high redundancy transmission code with error correction
Retransmit an unreceived signal repeatedly even after a long delay, simply by pressing the Repeat key
Automatically store all Start, Intermediate and Finish times, which can later be transferred and assigned to the Racetime2 and REI2 timers
Command MicroTab and MicroGraph scoreboards wirelessly
Set the competitor number and transmit it automatically to the timer
Transmission range of up to 2 km for the 10mw model, and up to 9km for the 500mw model (results may vary depending on topography, ambient radio interference, etc)
Select from 32 different available radio frequencies on which to operate
Select from 128 different available transmission channels
System is homologated and does not require any special licences
