I am a track operator, and we did upgrade, and we offered, to our racers, a mass mail in, to get pure rc4 for our people who had mrt's. 40USD for each one (Current offer from MYLaps, which included the shipping both ways). That was a great deal for those people, since it would cost them more than 40 with shipping and insurance, if they did it themselves.

The whole complaining about the MyLaps issue is useless. Complaining will go no where. You upgrade, or dont have your laps counted.. its simple as that.

Tracks upgrade for $330 usd for the new decoder, or pay over 3000 down the road (based on Mylaps history of trade in's).

Ahh but when will any receiver work with any transmitter.. That is where we are comparing apples to apples...
