yeah, nice... Price tag will be ridiculous like everything else AMB sell!

^ Too true...

mrt for me, never go back to amb

Dont you have to go to AMB first before you can get an MRT?

nope

If you want an AMB number yes I thought?

I've got an AMB to go in my XXCR and the MRT clone has gone in the Cat SX.

you can get MRT transponders that come with 10 or 20 pre encoded numbers. Personally ive never clashed on numbers, so never changed number :)

I thought that was the case, think I'll point a friend in their direction for his B4

Myself I would have got one from RC Mushroom and then MRT if a friend hadn't given me one of his AMBs

im looking to buy a mrt transponder as idont wanna pay the amb priced one, which do i need 10 number or 20 number????

If you're getting an MRT go for the 20+Custom, then you will have you're own transponder number. The last time I looked they only had the 20+C on the site anyways.

A Double and three halves
 

is all I'm going to say.

:confused:

$129.99 so £85 quid ?

That's expensive.

The exisitng AMB does the job and it's about £60 if you look around

New version of the software as I noticed the Players timing results looked different?

From my understanding, the Custom Number, may not be unique.....

It is not unique - in fact, I'm not sure how the custom number is made.

MRT will give you a "custom" number only if you send in your own transponder to be cloned.

The other 20 numbers are ones that MRT have ripped from AMB transponders that they now own themselves.

MRT are not able to generate their own numbers.

If you are using a number on the MRT that is not the same as an AMB transponder that you own, there is a chance (albeit small) that you will have a transponder clash with someone, somewhere.

No, you're thinking of a 'cloned number'. The 'custom number' is something different. I have a 20+1 custom number transponder, and it clashed with another MRT PTX user.

No, the +1 "custom" number is your cloned number, the transponder also has the 20 "MRT" numbers (clones that they own).

Your transponder clashed because you were using the same "MRT" number as someone else. You need to select another. Either that, or you bought a second hand AMB which had already been cloned and asked MRT to clone it again.

That’s not strictly true there sosidge…

The +1 number will either be the number you requested via the cloning process OR one of a number of set numbers supplied by MRT. This is independent of the 1-20 common numbers in all of them. If the +1 number is not a cloned number then it will not be unique. MRT only have a limited number to choose from when assigning the custom numbers. I spoke to Terry and Clive from MRT about this after we had 2 people try to book in with the same PTX number a couple of months back.

As you say, when it happens you just have to switch to one of the 20 common numbers. Not a big deal really :)

Sorry, I had no idea they also do this.

I have to say it makes no sense whatsoever. Why let someone choose a non-unique "custom" number when the transponder already has 20 non-unique numbers? It just causes problems trackside, as proven above.

the twenty numbers are not Unique, as they are the same 20 numbers on each PT, the +C offers the chance of being almost 'unique' but there is a chance, and a random one, that you can be racing with someone who has that same +C number.

Exactly right DCM - and exactly what I wrote.

MRT-supplied numbers are all non-unique. So what is the point in offering 21 of them instead of just 20, especially when the purchaser is under the impression that his +1 "non-unique" number is "a-little-bit-more-unique-but-oops-not-unique-enough-to-stop-me-having-a-clash" than the other 20?

I must say, I still appreciate your dedication to replying to everything that I write with a little added irrelevant detail. It makes me feel very special. Perhaps one day my intellect and experience will be a match for yours :wub

feck off

What is it with this forum these days.....

No, oddly enough, I'm pretty sure I know what I did.

I bought an MRT PTX which has 20 numbers that are based off AMB numbers that MRT bought, plus one extra number, presumeably from a few more, that are not common to other PTXs, though there is the possibility of two having the same number, hence the clash that I mentioned earlier.

In fairness to DCM, he was only reiterating what 3 people had already told you, as you didn't seem as though you wanted to take it in the first two times.

Mr Sosidge actually thinks, that he is that important, that I follow him around and try to contradict him at every turn..... might be he has delusions of grandeur, as really, I couldn't give two hoots, but he can have his thoughts.

I'm looking forward to your new non-contradiction policy. It'll make a change.

I particularly liked I when you told me to feck off instead!

Hi Marvin,

I did apologise for my misunderstanding, I hope you will accept that.

For some reason DCM followed up my apology with a restatement of what I had already agreed was true. Perhaps he was composing his own answer while I submitted mine. I accept that, as he says, he has no intention of deliberately contradicting my posts in an attempt to appear more knowledgeable.
