My understaning is that the Destron scanner can not read the Avid chip.
And I am told that the Avid scanner can not read the Home Again chip, so it
is kind of a dilemma.
When we lived in Michigan, everybody used Home Again chips and here in
California they use mostly Avid. So half of my animals have Home Again
chips and
the others have Avid chips.
Wish there was one scanner for all.
Both companies now make scanners that will read either the Destron (same as
the Home Again) or Avid chips now. The old ones didn't work that way though.
The NFHR has one of the Avid scanners that will read both brands. However
it won't read the very old Destron chips - the old ones were a different
frequency than the currently used ones are.
