Thanks, I'll try connecting via network.

As far as I know you request the update from MyLaps with the serial number of the decoder. They send you a e-mail with the update as an attachment.
Use the ethernet cable that came with the decoder connect to computer and execute the .exe of the update. The update is specific to that decoders serial number.

Here's a link to their support page.

Type 3 Decoder update

Thanks Bob.
That link answered all my questions.
I wasn't thorough enough in my search of the Mylaps website. :blush:

This is great news for all the MRT users out there.
Do you know what the new MRT transponders cost?

Can MRT update our current ones? It seems as though buying a new one, whether AMB or MRT, is the problem we are trying to avoid. I only have one MRT and likely won't buy another since the same thing might happen again in the future. What I'd like to see is a new decoder system with reasonable prices across the board for tracks and racers, then we can all collectively give AMB the finger.

What is the cost of the upgrade? I may send in 4 units

Here's more info:

Wow...Decisions, decisions....To upgrade decoder or not upgrade decoder, that is the new question....:cry:

Now with MRT releasing an RC4 compatible transponder, is it along the line of an RC4 hybrid where it is backward-compatible with the older decoders, or is it like the RC4 "pure" where it will only work with an RC4 decoder?

I have just recently recieved my RC4 decoder, and tonight I have mocked it up so that I can test in in the living room. In a mockup situation just passing the PT over the loop, the RC4 is registering the MRT transponder. Will this repeat itself in racing conditions? Who knows, but it looks promising. (Note: I am not talking about updated MRT transponders. Im talking about the old ones that are not supposed to read on an RC4.

Go figure. :)

It will read the older style MRT intermittently. It wont count it 100% of the time though. That is what has been reported for some time now.
