Why do so many people post on hearsay?

Thanks for the quote, and as the SiCoe suggested I was talking about the Purcy not being backward compatible, where when we last switched systems the new transponders did work with the old system although only the last digit of the number was recognised.
So not really any hearsay going on there, the facts were read understood and quoted.
The facts still are that the RC4 system will only fully work with the purcy, but a club that switches to RC4 will still be able to count all amb/mylaps transponders, and probably mrt too, but we wont know until it is tested, as said before could be scaremongering. BUT a driver who buys a purcy will have to check the list of no clubs (at the moment) before their laps will count.
I was just suggesting what might have been a better use of the purcy only needing to stock one transponder and it would count everywhere.
As said above, we just have to wait and see what happens, but at the moment no club i know is going to upgrade their firmware.
Sounds like good news that we don't have to send the box to BBK for firmware upgrade though, if/when we want it.
