I would suggest the issue lies squarely with MRT. They sold a transponder which was "supposed" to be a clone of the original AMB PT. Now, the AMB PT continues to work on all the AMB/MyLaps decoders, and yet the MRT doesn't.
So it's not a very good 'clone' is it?
If it was doing what it was supposed to be doing - it replicating the same signal as the AMB units, then it would work fine on the new decoder and there would be no issues for anyone.
It's a tough decision for clubs. The Essex Winter Series currently has two decoders, and we understand a lot of people using MRTs. For sure it's not an ideal situation. I hope MRT get their units sorted out ASAP which will help everyone out.

Well this is the funny point. I don't think the lack of MRT support is deliberate - well not as in 'lets make a version that blocks off those MRT's'.
What I suspect is that there is a certain amount of variance in the signals between each type of unit. The older systems were quite tolerant of this variation, RC4 isn't.
When making RC4, Mylaps will have tuned it to read older AMB's. They simply didn't do MRT.
