Magnetospeed Unplugged Bayonet Error

[VarmintBob]

I've had a V3 for at least 7 years. No problems except a broke cable. This sounds like one of the wires is broken in a cable.

Just got a reply from Magnetospeed. They are sending a new one out ASAP with a return label to send the defective unit back. Can't get much better than that.

If I was you I'd still upgrade your cable.

I have the Sporter model, so it does not plug into the wand. It is attached internally.

I have a magnetospeed. It's several years old but had only been used 1/2 dozen times. The plug in the box came unsoldered. Granted it was way out of warranty, but they weren't much help. I won't be buying another.

I think the V3 with the 2 way plugs is the better way to go. I may have to get one when I get my suppressor in.

I'd almost be willing to sell mine to help fund a LabRadar purchase, then at the same time, I'd like to have both to compare numbers.

Already got a UPS number. Great customer service.

Replacement arrived today with a return shipping label to send back the broken chrono. Just can't beat that.

That good.

I just bought a new cable, at a local store, $5 fixed the problem

I am on my fourth (you think I would have learned my lesson by now). FIrst one just took a dump and never could get it to recover. Have had the UPG error on two and three. They sent me a new monitor, but wouldn't send a bayonet. Haven't shot number four yet. I am thinking they are not fans of a muzzle brake...???

Good thought!

Mine is a Sporter. The cable runs inside the bayonet. Could not replace the cable.

My old MagnetoSpeed V3 I have has served me well, no problems..the Sporter model has had some past problems, as maybe the whole line of electronics today. But many reputable companies, as of late, have inferior quality coming out. Electronic component scarcity and quality coming from overseas (China) has been hampering all industry from washing machines to the auto industry, to jet airplanes and all the chronographs...can be iffy...no brand or electronic component is immune, the world's best comes from Taiwan...and production is hampered there...Noone in the world can compete. A new plant in Arizona is being built, with the Taiwan process and under their control.
