Get a Combro - cost next to nothing, and mine has never failed under any light or none

Thank you, guys. Some helpful and informative comments above.

Tis interesting that a weak battery can, it seems, bring on the sensor errors (and it's annoying, as I believe there is a separate code for low batt').

I'll search in the garage for an old 9v transformer and my soldering iron.

I think that perhaps there's some truth in the theory that Chrony sensors do need 'conditioning' to the light, after being stored away folded up in the dark for an extended period.

Just a thought, Phil.

As yours is a fold up chrony, have you checked for a break in the wires to the rear sensor ?

If it is your actual sensor buggered I have a scrap Prochrono here we can rob next weekend if we need.

Bless you, Mick.

Last time it played up like this, I left it outside in the sun for a few hours and hit it a couple of times. Sadly I don't know which thing made it work.

That's the thing though - after a frustrating evening of "-Err2- -Err2- -Err2-", I'd gone out the next day, like Radio Raheem, and bought top of the range Energiser batteries - and the bugger still wouldn't work... -Err2- -Err2-

I hope it's not alignment issues. When I said earlier that I haven't shot it - that was true - although somebody must have 'winged it' once, near the rear sensor.

Oops!

I've winged mine a couple of times.

And still it refuses to die!



Note to self :- must try harder, then I can get the family to club together and get my what I really want, a Skan, for Chrimbles.

Yeah, but once it starts working, for the rest of the day it works like a dream, indoors/outdoors, not a bit light-fussy.

At the World Champs, we were using Air-Chrony MK3s on tripods, with the optional barrel rest brackets, Tone.

They were impressive machines, except they didn't like direct bright sunlight. But when it was shady or overcast - they were great.

If they're not too fussy indoors (?), I'd be tempted to get one of them next.

[TonyL]

I'll certainly put one of those on my list for future consideration, young Phil.

Probably explains why the springers registered well over power and pneumatics well down 25-30ft/sec

All led type chronos useless used out doors, the only one can trust to give an accurate reading is the Labrador.
