Thats because your track either has an older AMB system that is not digital or another lap "timing" system. Has nothing to do with the software.

The 10 and 20 number options may be limited at a big event since they are not unique number, but the same for everyone who buys a 10 or 20 number transponder.
Personally I got a AMB one to get a personally number, then had a few copies made by MRT. MRT was about $60 each, so a lot less than the originall AMB. That way all my cars have the same TX number.

1-10 house TP's are from the older systems. The digital house TP's have a 7 digit number just like a PT.
I don't think MRT sells 10 nomber PTX's anymore... They all have 21 numbers in them.

The three you have do not have "unique" numbers in them. They all have the same first 20 numbers, but the 21st number comes from a pool of numbers that MRT has... they have already been cloned and other people have them.
Its a great product... and helps the racers out.
