    I wonder if that reliever is the same as the one from the CTX? If so, maybe can get just the transmitter for the other machines instead of doubling up and spending extra?

    I've got an ETrac. So this will all be new to me. I just hope that there's no lag time.

    If it's the same as on the CTX you shouldn't notice any lag. Being an external transmitter, there may be a couple microseconds in the electronics. I think I read somewhere it's an FM signal which it way faster than the bluetooth units that are notorious for lag.

    That's what I was looking for, if it was FM or Bluetooth. I've heard of the lag time with the Bluetooth units.
