BTW ...RCM are my initals!

Either is an option, though I was recommended ethernet works just as well, and is easier, so have always used that, and both the primary and backup computer can access it off the same network.
I just went checking the RCM version history before going to bed last night, and found it just got updated, listed in the updates is the new RC4 field data for the temp and voltage.

It's a sub number, first transponder in the group can actually be a hybrid with no sub number, and it gets treated as 00 needing no sub number, after that it goes up to 07, but it's entered in an extra field in race software, not as an extra digit in the main number.
The things we don't know is why only 7 sub numbers?, and will race software pick it up if no sub number is entered and it's a specific sub number transponder, I'm keen to test the later.
