I just thought of something that I need an answer quickly, since I have my RC4 decoder coming this week and we have a race on Sunday....

I had the original AMBrc and was able to use a single strand of 18ga wire for a loop....Our loop is embedded in our asphalt....

Does anyone know if we can use the same loop with the RC4 decoder, or will I have to use an AMB loop????
LOL....Sometimes more opinions than answers!

Yes...if loop worked with your old AMB it will work with your new MyLaps RC4 decoder.

From the AMBrc manual:

"Any wire similar to the AMB wire is suitable. Install a resistor of 470 Ohm (0.15 - 0.5 watt) opposite to the connection box."

I have used 18ga wire without the resistor on wider tracks.
