Default Transponders & Decoder Upgrades

Notice to all racers with MRT Transponders:



I strongly suggest you take advantage of MyLabs (AMB) upgrade program to upgrade your MRT to a New Gen RC4 or RC4 Hybrid MyLaps (AMB) Transponder. NOTE: Racers with old MyLaps (AMB) Transponders may also take advantage of this program.

RC4 Hybrid - http://www.mylaps.com/index.php/us_e..._to_rc4_hybrid (Works on all RC4 or Older Timing Decoders)

RC4 - http://www.mylaps.com/index.php/us_e...upgrade_to_rc4 (Works only on the newest RC4 Timing Decoder)

I have been researching the recent Transponder updates and I strongly suspect the Club will need to upgrade our timing system at which point the MRT transponders will no longer work.

MyLabs (AMB) is offering Decoder owners (Timing System owned by Marcca) upgrades until March 31, 2013 for $330 after that it will cost $3250 - So I would expect Marcca will be upgrading very soon.

At which point Marcca upgrades its decoder - MRT Transponders will not work. Anyone with a MyLaps or AMB transponder will be fine regardless of its age or size. The only people affected will be MRT owners.
