Radio systems - EncRadio Single Frequency 10mW
EncRadio SF is a module for digital impulse transmission which forms part of the SF family. LinkGate Encradio SF (single frequency) makes it possible:
- to transmit the start signal only
- to select 128 different channels
- to reach a transmission distance of about 2 km in good conditions
- to guarantee maximum reliability and accuracy (higher than +- 0.4 thousandths of a second) even when transmission disturbance is particularly severe, thanks to its exclusive high redundancy transmission
- to set (with the two large buttons on EncRadio) the competitor number to which the event taken should be assigned and to transmit it automatically via radio to the stopwatch.
The system is homologated and its use does not require any special licences.

In the LinkGate EncRadio family you can find the ideal solution for your timing requirements.
The LinkGate EncRadios for wireless transmission of timing impulses are available in a compact external container or embedded in the Polifemo.
All the external EncRadio LinkGate transmitters make it possible to set the number of the competitor to whom the acquired event must be assigned. Two large buttons which can also be used even with ski gloves on allow rapid setting of the competitor number on the display. The system thus transmits to the receiving stopwatch not only the event taken but also the bib number to assign it to.
The LinkGate system makes it possible to move freely along the race course. So wherever they are, the timekeeper or trainer can receive all the times and speeds via radio.
The table summarises the main differences between the transmission modules (EncRadio) of the LinkGate system.
