New UltraLap coming?

[tshort]

Anyone heard about this?
New model of the Ultralap:
* Support for true split times -- multiple transmitters may be placed around the track and intermediate times within each lap will be recorded. Our transmitter will have an additional switch that selects between "start/finish" and "split" -- you would set up one transmitter in the start/finish mode and any number of other transmitters around the track in split mode. The Ultra-Lap can tell the difference between the two because a different frequency of infrared pulsing is used. The "start/finish" frequency will still be compatible with AIM devices. The "split" frequency will not trigger the AIM devices.

* Thinner receiver (box with display) -- .65" thick as opposed to 1.15" thick. Much less bulky up front.

* All 3 boxes (I/R receiver and transmitter in addition to main receiver) are machined aluminum. Previously, only the main receiver box was aluminum -- the other two were plastic.

* Records ambient temperature for each session.

* Tracks may be picked from a list -- so you don't have to re-enter a track name when you are switching from one track to another

* Displays average lap time for each session.

* Lower power consumption for longer battery life. Uses one AA battery instead of two AAA batteries.

* Improved infrared sensitivity.

* USB download cable as opposed to RS-232. Self-powered by the USB cable, so it does not require the bulky and clunk power transformer.

I am a dealer and yes new version end of January.

I already have the original one but having a better sensitivity on the IR seems to be a feature that was needed.  I don't know if it's been bad luck or what but both my brother and I have missed a ton of lap times and sometimes full days due to the receiver not picking up the beacon consistently.

Pricing (receiver only)?  Group (say, 4 or more) discounts for racers?

Can we get away with just buying the receivers??

Can we get away with just buying the receivers??

I would have thought so - both Mychron and XT sell theirs separately now.  Chances are someone is going to have a sender at any of the events I attend, so for now I'm not going to bother.  And the UltraLap works with the Mychron senders.

Yes you can get just the receiver. I do have a deal for racers. They have not said anything about a price increase but I will have to wait until it is released. Change that I'll find out Thursday.

I will have them if you want them..if you can get hold of me this week and order them now i can give them to you at the old price....706-236-9338 we are also going to have our store open next week for anyone in N GA area...

Since this is an XT thread anyways, has anyone else had issues with missing laps (and I don't mean just an occasional one) wile using the XT with a Mychron beacon?  I sent an email to XT stating that we are having problems and there first reply was that we should be using there beacon instead of the Mychron.

[GAMEDIC]

well that would make sence...if it is an XT timer use the beacon for it..if it is Mychron use the one for it...otherwise they would have the same type...
