Don't quote me but I thought I read somewhere where they could pick up a beacon and which kind of not sure..what about indoor tracks ? do you have a beacon to set up to read from or do they read from the mychron beacons ?
Most often things like cracked screen from crashing. Heard of needing the board replaced because a unit wouldn’t pick up lap times. Always quick to repair and ship back and minimal if any charges. Where do you send an Alfano for repair when the screen gets road rash, Belgium?What have you had use mychron customer support for?..

I had the micron 4 and had to put the beacon out on the track. It had a temperature sensor but really I wasn't attuned to it that much just basically my lap time. I am pretty new so getting the head temperature didn't seem all that relevant in an air-cooled engine...I’m not seeing them at that price. The tach is $390 you add a CHT for 14mm plug and it’s now $475 at that point by a mychron 5

I assume there's some kind of jetting indication I could get from how hot it's getting but I haven't gotten that far into my tuning abilities yet... I don't have a computer or Wi-Fi so I would have to add that into the cost of buying a mychron 5..
And for like me I don't have Wi-Fi or a computer...(maybe wrong) but thought a beacon would be needed for indoors tracks, because the gps will not read through the building material,
wifi is needed for to download the info from the mychron 5 to the computer so you can run the my laps program for graphs and
keeping the info stored so you can erase from mychron
I would think using Bluetooth I would be able to download my laps onto my wife's tablet which has a much bigger screen and I could see the lap overlays and which line on the track was fastest. it seems that little teeny screen it would be hard to see...Mychron 5 doesnt use a beacon.
Computer or WiFi needed for what? Everything you would need to know is right there on the tach.
as of 3/2021 you can get them NEW for $351 shipped, i LOVE MINE, race outdoor oval asphaltWe love ours. Sadly they have caught on and the price seems much closer to the Mychrons now.. I'm seeing more and more of them at the tracks here in FL now.

I'm not convinced the micron 5 is better in any way.. something about me I'm not one who follows what everybody else is doing..
First and foremost in my opinion I think the alfano looks much better.. I like the idea of three satellites instead of two for more accuracy. I like the idea of the sealed battery instead of one that would allow water to get in.. I like the idea of downloading on an app with Bluetooth instead of having to have a Wi-Fi connection.. I don't even have a computer so I'd have to buy that...

The Alphano connects directly to your Smart phone also via Bluetooth and an App.Smart phone. I don't have a laptop or a pc but I'm still on here daily.
