Yes, see what you mean - but I'm guessing here that's exactly why the Purcy's will only work with an RC4 - the decoder needed to be changed to be able to recognise the 'cloneable' (if that's a word!) Purcy PT.

Where I was coming from with 'backwards compatibility' is that the RC4 will happily read any MyLaps PT, so if you have any of the digital PT's in your car you know they'll work whatever system the club you turn up at has - as long as they're running AMB / MyLaps decoders that is - there are others out there..

There are clubs running Infra red, old anologue and all sorts of other weird and wonderful stuff, it's amazing what you come across
