Reply to "ALGE D-LINE DISPLAYS UNDER TEST"

Wow, I didn't realize we were some kind of test case. Smile

As Fred mentioned, we are a small club at Hillberg Ski Area on Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. We run little kid (J4 and younger) and adult intramural race programs. We are in the process of replacing our old Reliable Racing timing system with Alge components that hopefully will be more flexible and powerful, while retaining some of the ease of use.

Several factors led to the selection of the D-Line display. Cost was a major factor, and the D-Line is much cheaper than ALGE GAZ displays or even the comparable Tag Heuer displays. Size/weight was also a concern, since I also plan to be using the system with the Alyeska Masters for training. Who wants to lug around a heavy display? Also, since sunlight is in short supply during our winters and intramural races are run at night, direct sunlight affecting visibility isn't much of an issue for us.

I'll try to post my impressions of the display and how it works at various light levels and temperatures once next season starts.
