If going 2nd hand then defo check to see how long the current program/s will last. We both got a Kick in de Bollix when it turned out the old Hale MCT 05+ would be defunct in a years time.

I see the Hale microtax 06 on your list, if'n the MCT 05 is gone this year and the MCT 05+ is gone next year, then I wouldn't be holding out too much hope on the MCT 06 lasting too much longer.

Re microtax 06 you’d be correct, never really here of any lesser meters becoming obsolete, mattig, ata, taxitonic TX30 aqilaia metres all seem to be slogging on for years.

From the OP of the Hale Meters thread:

MCT-06: the automatic calendar works until end of 2045, provided firmware version G10 MEUD77 2022.09.19 is programmed. This taximeter model is still being produced for the time being.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

You ended up paying €50 more than me, and worked the last 2 months on the old tariff ??

As in working Chrimbo/NYE + The 'Golden Eight' at €1.71 per km instead of the now legal €2.20 per km with a starting rate of the old €4.80 instead of the new €5.40 ??

Re hours; I’m RC level the last few years

Re price; yes, but I’d rather spend €100 on something I want instead of something I’m being forced to buy.

Exec sum, taximen / taxidrivers!

I'm not a great fan of the mirror meter I bought but part of my thinking is that there's not a whole lot of visible room on dashboards in modern cars with their big screens and what not so the mirror is probably more versatile going forward. I could operate the Hale with no need to look at the buttons which certainly isn't the case with the mirror one and it's position naturally takes your eyes off the road so I have to get into the habit of getting it running with all the extras before moving... not ideal by any means.

Nice. Good quality meter, well installed. The mirror one I got is cheap shit by comparison and being cable tied to the mirror is aptly mickey mouse looking.
