As many of you will know Mylaps have released a new timing Decoder RC4 and a new transponder RC4 (nickname Purcy). Anyone considering the purchase of a new RC4 transponder should be aware that it will only work with the RC4 decoder. WBMCC have 1 decoder which is a RC3 model, which could be updated to the latest RC4 firmware if need be. There is a problem however. RC4 decoders can only read AMB/mylaps pts and handouts, Harrys and Purcys. They will not read MRT transponders.
Since a lot club members already have MRT pts, we do not intend updating our decoders in the forseeable future. Therefore if you turn up to a meeting with an RC4 pt you will have to use a club handout. We have also noticed on a couple of occasions that we have had amb and mrt number matches, so if you are using a pre-programmed mrt please let me know at race control so that i may keep an eye out for any missed laps or clashes. Thank you.
