ParaTelemetry & Magnetic Riser Covers

[skyninja 0]

Do the UPT magnetic riser covers interfere with the function of paratelemetry devices? How is this option integrated into the new vector rigs?

Do the paratelemetry devices work well? Why are they not more blatantly advertised with new equipment? It seems like a good idea - is it very expensive and just not practical to advance to a standard?

Why don't you just play 'chicken' on the railroad tracks? It would be a cheaper way to toy with death, I'm sure.

Regarding interference... I seriously doubt it. (Yes, I am a physicist).

Do they work well? I don't know.

I doesn't affect it at all. In fact the switch that activates the transmitter is a magnetic switch so it doesn't turn on untill it is seperated from the magnet.

The device works like a charm. I just wish I had one when I chopped a brand new Caos with four jumps on it. It was a demo, brown and black, and it went deep in the woods. Never did find it. Precision was kind of upset about that one. I even rented a helicopter for half a day after I spent two days marking the woods with red tape so I knew where I'd allready searched... It was summer, 95 degrees, 90 percent humidity, swapy with mosquitos big enough to carry you off.. not to mention the ticks and chiggers.. anyone ever had chiggers?...not fun!

With the paratelemetry device, when you use it, the risers are not attached to the container, so your magnetic risers covers could be a mile away from the main you are looking for. Short answer, No it has no effect.
