I wonder why MRT doesn't do that. I have split feelings about this. While I appreciate AMB for their innovation, I feel abused by their pricing. $100-120 for a transponder is not so terrible. Not great but not terrible. What mylaps is charging for decoders is unreal. For this reason MRT is often viewed as a Robin Hood in the market of scoring devices. If they would produce a decoder that was reasonably priced and compatible with their PT or a new PT. Then clubs could choose to use Mylaps or MRT and racers would most likely have more than one of each brand of transponder depending on what track they were visiting that day. If Mylaps really wanted to hurt MRT they should just sell their product to race clubs at a price that doesn't require a home equity line, and offer their transponders at about half of what they cost right now. If Mylaps PTs were about fifty bucks then less hardcore racers would buy them and hardcore racers would have a multiple PTs.
