I'LL let the experts answer this, it's been discussed and the cost is big
BUCK$$. All new timing and radios etc. We are doing wireless time slips and
still have some bugs to work out on that. For 2 courses it takes 10
transmitter, 10 receivers, 22 batteries plus many spares. What it would take
to interface with the computers etc. I don't know. That's also for the
experts to say. Jon it has been considered and research has been in the
works.
