Raced with a club the other week, that obviously used a RC3 Decoder because they were still selling MRTs and I know of a few people that picked them up.
Raced with another club today and some of those same racers showed up, and it became evident early on they had a RC4, though they wouldn't admit it until later, as all of those same people (along with club regulars) were having lap counting issues.
Personally, one of my MRTs routinely missed laps throughout practice while another newer one didn't register at all (especially baffling). Have long had an old mylaps to serve as back up, that worked fine (though it did limit me to running one class) - but there were a lot of unhappy racers that vowed not to return.
As one chap put it, "If it was announced well in advance, I might have not been happy but I would have understood. What you did was like saying just because I didn't have a Sanwa radio or a Novak speed control I couldn't race. But I'm not sure who I'm more pissed off at, MyLaps for these pointless shenanigans, MRT for not being on top of it, or the club for upgrading something that didn't need upgrading."
