So the Bug booster works as one of the newer transponders? I want one just tell me where to sign up.

No. but it keeps your personal transponder working when you pull the trigger.

I heard there is a way to clone the AMBrc detection loop, is that possible? Anybody knows how to do it? Because we have 2 different tracks in our club and is a pain in the ass to change the loop from one track to the other (133 bucks isn't cheap) any suggestions??

The actual loop, you just need some wire (16 gauge works great) and a resistor to go in the middle of the loop. Unfortunately I can't remember the resistor type, but should be able to look on your current loop or search for it via google.

Now the yellow part with the black box at the end can't be duplicated as far as I know.

The resistor is 470 Ohms if I remember correctly. I've heard that the loop works fine without it, but haven't tried it. I'm not sure how to duplicate the black box at the end of the Coax cable. It can't be complicated. It uses no outside power.

Hey, Terry. Is MRT thinking about selling timing loops?!? I'd buy one.

I've been using my home-made loop for 2 racing weekends so far. It works great. I have 18 gauge wire with 470ohm resister. I don't use anything to split the loop like the AMB black box but it works this way too.
I also use douple shield 50ohm coax cable.

Thanks for all the info! I will start cutting & splicing wires ASAP hehehe, anyway just a tough, I was checking the specs for the loop in the AMB homepage and it says they use 75 ohm wire, is there any reason of why you use the 50 ohm one, or there is no significant diference between the 50 ohm and the 75 ohm?

Where is the best place to buy a personal transponder from

Not really sure who has them in stock at the moment.

I went through allstar hobbies last time I needed one.

currently only place I see them is on ebay.

Both works. I just happen to have a longer 50 ohm cable.

Hi andsetinn, no we're not selling timing loops people seem to make their own, but we do sell a power supply (for the UK market) for the AMB system.
