Personal transponder
 

What's the latest on PTs?

I really need to change my original AMB PT as its tatty, I've got an MRT PT as a clone and it's great, really small and fits nearly anywhere.

Do I get mine sent back for a new AMB transponder or are the MRT ones still good to get?

I heard a rumour that the MRT ones won't work with a new version of AMB software??

Surely the BRCA wouldn't do this as there must be hundreds of people with MRT clones?

Cheers!

Current situation in a nutshell:

All AMB transponders still work - the VERY latest one doesn't work with the old decoders.

The MRT's don't work with the very newest Mylaps (AMB) decoder firmware.

As to who has / will update to the very latest mylaps decoder, who knows - you'd need to ask individuals I guess.

BBK and Mylaps currently have a "trade in offer" for any old ones, or MRT ones to go to the newer transponders.

My Harry PT is similar size to MRT.

I traded in mine due to my PT seeing better days.

I'd trade in for a Harry even more now due to the uncertainty of who is using what.

Silverstone and other Mid South clubs are moving to RC4, so we have to consider it too.

I think the best thing to do Chris is to trade both your transponders in for the Harry type.

You would then get two new transponders that are very similar size to the MRT ones and also be able to use them with both systems? I'm not sure of the situation of our club as to if they plan to upgrade anytime soon but I would guess you will come across a track sometime this year that has

Will the national tracks be using the new system this year? (Maybe that info is somewhere but I have not seen?)

How can identify if my transponder is a Harry or not?
You can see my transponder in at the bottom left of this picture, just ....

see pics below
pic 1 old amb
pic 2 harry
pic 3 purcy

cheers, worries over. This should be stickied for idiots like me :thumbsup:

I'm in exactly the same boat chris, my amb is tatty and the mrt wires are starting to get abit dodge, just looked on the bbk site little bit pricey to update to Harry's :o
Oder what to do?

rob at bbk does the trade in deal £42 quid if you trade in a old amb or mrt, which is what we did,

When you trade in do you get the same numbers back ? I've got three MRT in total. Two of my mrt's share the same number as I have got two 2wd cars.

no amb cant and dont do clones every amb has a different number so as to not cause clashes, thats another benifit/downside to some,
since upgrading i have a new set of phone numbers in my phone, first name pt last name transponders:)

Ok cheers Carl :)

This looks like the daddy:

Sorry karl thats wrong My laps can do clones of the same number but the donor number has to be a harry or purcy.
You can also order purcy with a number of your choice providing that number has not been used and have clones of that number.

not what rob told me only purcy has a extra number u can add to identify each car

Trouble is as I understand it the Purcy rc4 only works on the latest decoders/firmware which most clubs don't yet have ? I think it's the Harry type that we need for club/regional racing. Harry will work on all decoders old and new. Please correct me if I've got crossed wires chaps.

That's how I understand the total fiasco we currently have...

So you get £42 for the one you trade in, or old pt plus £42?

You pay £42 and send your old pt in and get a new " Harry " which is future proof

I have 4 Harry's and never missed a lap and can race on rc2 or Rc4 Amb decoders

as jason said old pt plus £42 CLICKY
