Alright, thanks for the feedback. Itā€™s not a huge issue with placement, so Iā€™ll leave it as-is.
Since I have you around, I saw you posted some threads on the conversion process.

Here is a picture of the LAKS Pay module that Iā€™d be looking into getting converted. Can you say from this if itā€™d be a good candidate for conversion?

Thats definitely an @Amal question.

Yours looks slightly different from the LAKs conversion service example

My GUESS is, it looks promising, Hopefully Amal can just encapsulate it for you BUT thatā€™s purely my guess.

I loved having my Payment conversion
Good luck with yours

Thought this was pretty neat. Might be good for turning an apartment deadbolt lock into RFID.

Remove or replace?

Just remove on most models, but can replace if youā€™d like. On most revisions, the system will still work completely fine without it. Itā€™s meant just to keep the clock during power outages and such.

On the 1.6 motherboard revision, the cap is required for the system to boot.

Gold colored supercaps are less likely to leak, and were used on the 1.6 revision and some 1.4 motherboards. So those are usually fine to leave.

Every other revision though, just rip her out, and clean up any existing leakage with IPA.

So that one $0.70 part was responsible for destroying all those consoles? And the shitty chip soldering jobs?

Iā€™ve always heard that the PM3 easy and RDV4 perform about the same, but my easy canā€™t read my xSIID and my RDV4 reads it easily, so for those of you that have both:

Performance only, not considering pricing and whatnot.

  • Samesies
  • RDV4 is more better
  • Easy is more better

Dont make me dig them out ā€¦:sob:

[sigh]

OK Just because its you @Aoxhwjfoavdlhsvfpzha

Did you want both LF and HF tested?

Iā€™m guessing since its not a direct comparison you donā€™t want the DT LF Antenna tested :man_shrugging:

More data is more better, so Iā€™ll take any comparisons you feel like doing!

But initially I was thinking HF/LF stock antennas

Though, unfortunately I donā€™t yet have any LF implants to pitch in my own experience there

Speaking of my own experience, my RDV4 has slightly but noticeably outperformed my easy when it comes to both HF and LF cards, and as noted earlier is the only one that can read my xSIID, doing so quite easily

Also, thanks! :classic_tongue:

Same for me, but I would still reccomended the Easy for Price over the RDV4, I dont think the 6x Price is worth it

Iā€™ve never had a problem reading any of my implants with my Easy either, fortunate I guess.

It took me longer than I thought because I needed to update my RDV4
:pm3_rdv4:
:hamster_emoji_gif:

I used blank cards as a form of measure placed between the Antenna and implant

PM3 Easy

:pm3_easy:

xSeries ( xMagic ) LF

4 blank cards ( 3 was 100% hit rate, 4 got the occasional false indala read )

xSeries ( xMagic ) HF

Blank cards were placed ontop of the stand offs, which are 2 cards high.
5(7) blank cards total

Full sized ISO cards

T5577 Card
45mm

MF1k Card
50mm

PM3 RDV4 ( Shroud off)

:pm3_rdv4:

xSeries (xMagic) LF

4 cards

xSeries (xMagic) HF

12 cards :open_mouth:

Full sized ISO I didnt have enough blank cards for an accurate measure, but my measurements should be pretty close

T5577 Card
50mm

MF1k Card
90mm+

I decided not to, as mine was a very early version of the antenna, and it never really performed as expected.

But I can if you want me to

I totally agree about the price, but I am glad that the rdv4 seems to actually perform at least a little better

That was a lot more data and a lot more measuring than I was expecting, very much appreciated! I dunno if anyoneā€™s mentioned this to you, but youā€™re one of the coolest dudes on the forum

Iā€™ll let you off the hook on that one, but extend an extra ask out to anyone that happens to have both the rdv4ā€™s biohacker antenna and @XEMONā€™s fancy lf antenna for the easy to compare those two for something a bit more apples to apples :classic_smile:

Thanks again for the in-depth testing!

The blank cards work well as a standoff, as seen in Amals video

The Cards are approximately 0.8mm thick
