Which Equipment ?

[Jerome Poux]

Hello,

I found an old post from 2016 online that suggests a type of equipment to usecrossmsgr.

As i assume that the equipment evolves quickly could you please tell me what equipment you use to run CrossMgrSoftware for running events ? 

Do any of you use only a ground mat antenna? 

If so, could you recommend a specific model and also, what type of brand of tag do you use ? 

Thank you !

It hasn't changed that much.  You can infact use exactly what Edward suggested.  Many of us have upgraded to either the R420 or r700 reader.  Most use panel antennas either side mounted or on a truss.

I have used a matt.  It is a poor choice for bikes for many reasons from safety to durability to read accuracy (almost impossible to get a decent attack angel on the chip from a matt.

As for tags, lots in use. I agree with Jon Rosen, the M750 dogbone is about as good as it gets for passive RFID.   Our read rates are significantly better than with R6 based chips.  My guess is that Higgs9 chips would also be good but I don't have any experience there

Hi,

Thanks for the tag it's help me a lot.

I use Feibot with mixed success.  The key is to have some side antenna's as well or you will not get great reads.
