Only interested as a club I helped run had analogue handouts AMB20 system I beleive it was, they upgraded when they couldn't get an replacements for broken units, before they upgraded they only had 3 working pairs !

And thats the point. They only upgraded because the old system was no longer supported. It was perfectly good at timing the cars, its just that dead transponders couldn't be replaced.
Likewise Mylaps have screwed clubs everywhere by abandoning the handout transponder. Quite how hard it would be to make Harry's with a small battery attached baffles me, but Mylaps want PT's or nothing so stopped it. Most clubs with handouts now guard them feverishly - they are highly useful yet irreplaceable.
This is not true progress but planned obsolescence.
