| Tag Recommended |
We are tag supplier independent and do not recommend any tag over another. Due to the physics and technology the HDX products are typically better than those made on FDX-B, but latest developments and improvements (as of fall 2007) have nearly closed the gap between the best functioning FDX-B tag and the predominant HDX tag. |
