I am very familiar with most of the Mylaps and AMB products because I service and repair ALL types of transponders, multi charging cases and decoders.
All the current Mylaps decoders all look the same on the outside.
I have two later style decoders, 1 is an AMBrc3 decoder and the other is a AMB TranX decoder.
The latter is used for full size motor sports such as speedway and karts. Both look the same inside.
As Bishop says and I agree, the firmware in each type of decoder makes the difference.
I believe it would be possible to make one of these decoders work with ALL of the Mylaps/AMB transponders with the right firmware.
But it is most likely not in Mylaps business interests to do this.
At $3,800AUD Australian retail price seems rather high for what you can see inside a TranX/AMBrc decoder in the photo below.
My high spec Toshiba Qosmio laptop only cost $1,400AUD and I used to service laptops and know there is more in them than a decoder.
