But since the "clones" hit the market I've read many posts of racers saying they get couple of clones then sell the original or sell the clones, etc. Chances are those who buy a used transponder are unaware they have a PT that is not unique!

At least a clone from MyLaps will have the 8th digit that will make it unique!

Sure MyLaps PT's cost a little more. But what in RC racing isn't over priced? Don't know how many times I've heard someone brag how much they spent on a car kit or a nitro engine or a purple anodized part that is broke or obsolete in 6 months! My 13 year old PT is still kicking and never missed a lap!
