[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 430116, member: 4191"] My PACT PC2 allows for the entry of the skyscreen spacing distance in inches. I don't know if it allows me to enter tenths of inches or not. Haven't tried that. But I've run both 54" and 56" spacing. Programming for skyscreen spacing in inches is built in - and I do like that feature. The Oehlers I have allow skyscreen spacing programming in distances of feet. They can't be programmed to inches of separation distance like my PACT PC2. The PACT I have is handy that way. I'd like to see the spacing be programmed to tenths of an inch - which would be even handier. That way if my permanent mounting spacing is off slightly, I could simply enter the correct separation distance, rather than having to re-mount the skyscreens. Oehler has improved their skyscreens, and the improvement was evident in my use of them. Their current skyscreens are Oehler IIIs. The technology could be the same. But the quality of that technology has been improved. Less susceptible to static electricity or other electrical noise. They operate with fewer hiccups than their prior version skyscreens. I own 4 of their older generation skyscreens, and 5 of their current model Skyscreen IIIs. I don't know how old my PACT PC2 is. I purchased it 'used'. PACT skyscreens and equipment could be improved on their current models, compared to the one I'm using. One reason I didn't purchase a CED M2 is that their skyscreen spacing is not programmable. I believe the factory skyscreen spacing on the CED M2 is 2 feet. I prefer to run at least a 4-foot skyscreen spacing in order to reduce the affect that skyscreen spacing error has on the recorded velocity. I suspect one [I][B]could[/B][/I] set the CED skyscreens at a 4-foot spacing. But then you'd have to double the recorded velocities in order to correct them for the 4-foot spacing. [/QUOTE]
