After a long time, now I have a question: I'd like to clone my old RC3 transponder as our MyLaps decoder still has firmware 4.4, which is the magical one that can read RC4 and RC3.A long time ago I made a dump of what it sends using the monitor mode with Putty, so in theory I should have all the status packets necessary. However, my first try which I did 2 years ago is not accepted by our MyLaps decoder. I left it until now, but now our track uses Speedhive and it's more interesting for me again. So what went wrong? I made sure I have the status packets in the right order, but how can I tell which one is the first? I also cannot guarantee, that I have all the packets perfectly correct, as there might be some corrupted data in my dump. It's not that easy to identify the status packets, because there are some variations in the data from time to time, probably due to bad reception.
Has anyone already tried to clone a RC3 transponder and was successful?
Thanks for your help,
Andreas
