Z Lynk field test & modification

[richardson]

I've been using the Z Lynk for a 3 weeks now - 16 hunts - 10 with the ATPro and 6 with the Tesoro Vaquero. A couple of hunts in and I decided to cut down the headphone cord and mount the receiver directly on the headphone cup with Velcro. I cut down the cord, taped it back up, put heat shrink on it and taped it up again.
After the modification, the Z Lynk is working perfectly. It pairs quickly and I cannot tell any lag whatsoever. I would recommend the Z Lynk to anyone wanting to get rid of the tether to your machine. I'm not real sure on the battery life yet, I charge it back up after 3 hunts (@ 15 hours), but I will do a test on that soon

I did basically the same thing, but mounted the receiver on the top headband. Works great. Wondered from the start why they didn't plan it that way? Their way you still have a cord dangling around. I would ask them to consider this!
