I need one for the Chummy and now I notice they do wireless ones. Has anyone tried this and do they work? Or is there too much metal around so the signal gets lost?
I bought one for the RP from that well known auction site. The instructions were in chinese script. I ended up throwing it away because it was rubbish.
The problem with it was:
a difficult to locate the sensor and the pick up on the wheel sufficiently close together
b range of the transponder was roughly 2'6"...
c it didn't work anyway
Caveat emptor!
