For tire systems, are you using flow thru sensors or cap sensors? Seems to me you can read tire pressure with flow thru. The cap sensors require them to be removed, it that true?
The borg and tts are comparably priced. I requested from tts how often the sensors reports back data. The borg is every 5 minutes. TTS has color display for additional $30.
Thanks for the info. You may have saved us a big disaster!

I use the TST 507 caps rather than the flow through sensors. These require the cap to be removed in order to check pressure. I use the Accutire electronic gauge. I run 75 psi nominal in the front and 80 psi in the rear. This is set in the morning before driving. I checked my TST and Accutire readings this morning. The TST readings were 1-3 psi lower than the Accutire. When I removed the caps to use the Accutire gauge thus loosing pressure I immediately got a low pressure warning on the monitor.
I check the monitor before driving and fairly often while driving. I have found a need to add a little air once or twice a year. As you know ambient temperature effects that as well.
Fornutately I have never experienced a blowout but did experience a slow leak once which I picked up on the TST and was able to get corrected promptly thus avoiding damage to the tire or worse.
I have removed the caps in the winter to reduce battery drain but since we now use the PC in winter they are left on all the time.
As to using on a toad I have no experience but suspect a repeater might be needed because the tire sensors are further away from the monitor. If I remember correctly I think TST says distances over 35’ may require a repeater.
