I have been using Rcxel sensors for years. Just like any company today they might have vendor problems. They are not "known to be useless". Known to be useless is a pretty hard phrase.
I have bought hall effect ICs sensors from electronics stores and made my own years ago. But lately I use those being discussed in this thread. The only problems I have had was with a batch of CRRC Pro sensors that the + and signal wires were crossed, lucky me that cost a handful of hair I couldn't afford.
You should know though that bcchi is the founder of C&H Ignitions and has been involved in the development of almost all the ignitions being discussed here.
Unless you have the ability to check the spark @ RPM this method of timing shows you the timing at full advance. Inside the module a calculation of low RPM retards the subsequent sparks until a RPM that changes the calculation is reached. My meaning here is that unless you see the running at 2000 rpm timing at 4 degrees and the 8000 rpm at 46 degrees the timing that you see in a single slow counterclockwise rotation may be misleading. I no longer have an Oscilloscope to check these points.
I believe this thread maybe going on to long for a sticky unless more technical data is added so that no misinformation is presented that might permanently damage one company.

I will consider your suggestions regarding my postings here, I may have come a little to strong with my comments ( I actually was thinking about that last night ) I apologize to you and specially to Bcchi for that, I have a CH ignition on my BME 61 Twin and I love it for its readability and for sure I do not want to damage a company's reputation.
What I'm looking for here is more info on the subject and want those that are more experienced with this type of problems to post any info that my give us a clarification to what can we do to understand and fix it if needed.
You yourself posted valuable information that is helping us to understand what is going on with the sensors.
Form now on I will stay off and will continue reading the posting from those that have the experience on the subject.
