fair enough...
and still priced roughly what, 20 bucks over their own original?......I still see the same $20 price point between MRT and MyLaps..
I have 4 AMBrc's...(that I over paid for
)...but then again I haven't had to upgrade anything. If someone is in the market for a PT they can currently buy a MyLaps Hybrid for about $105 or an new MRT for $85, save 20 bucks and hope MyLaps doesn't burn them again. I would spend the extra 20 bucks, but that's me.

because you both seem pretty shmart..(sp intendedA hybrid transmits both old and new data formats alternately (the new format is the one with temperature, etc.).
The MRT is an update on their existing transponder that makes it indistinguishable from an old AMB, which the new Mylaps decoders still accept as valid. It transmits only the old data format.
If MRT has done a good job (this time!) of replicating the old AMB transponder signal, then the only way that MyLaps can exclude them again is by updating their decoder software to no longer accept the old AMB transponders.

I don't see MyLaps obsoleting their own product....yes I would consider AMBrc PT's as their own product. Only time will tell and by then...my PT's will owe me nothing. I guess buying used AMB's a couple years ago paid off compared to paying the same price for a new MRT..

Yes, the new MRT PTX20(NS) does work on old and new decoders. But it is not a hybrid.
A hybrid transmits both old and new data formats alternately (the new format is the one with temperature, etc.) so it will function on both old and new decoders.
The MRT is an update on their existing transponder that makes it indistinguishable from an old AMB, which the new Mylaps decoders still accept as valid. It transmits only the old data format.
If MRT has done a good job (this time!) of replicating the old AMB transponder signal, then the only way that MyLaps can exclude them again is by updating their decoder software to no longer accept the old AMB transponders.

The new decoders can upload information to MyLaps, including transponder numbers. It would be relatively simple for MyLaps to check the data for identical transponder numbers being used in two different places on the same day or weekend, then make a list of these identical transponder numbers and download that list to the decoders. The decoders will then ignore those transponders. Any AMB transponders that haven't been cloned (or have not yet been detected as such by MyLaps) would continue to function. If the original AMB and the clone of it are not being used by the same person, then those people would just assume that their transponders had finally died, and never catch on to what really happened.
Will MyLaps do this? Who knows? But if they do, you read it here first.

MyLaps probably wouldn't disable all of the old AMB transponders at the same time. I think they are too smart for that. They might only disable AMB transponders that have been cloned, and the clones themselves. Here's how:

(I think MRT is a division of MyLaps.....

About 1/2 the track I go to don't have internet access....
Not all MRTs are cloned. All the MRTs I have are just some random number.
