Jim,
This is the same service I think I'm going to use. Looks like a $100 or so
will keep me going for a while. Since I haven't heard any club chatter about
changes required for the future, I hope I can avoid the $$$ for a
non-performance part.

My battery is getting weak also so I'm sending off to these folks down under.
Some say the batteries they use are better than original.
I'm not anxious to pay another $ 480.00 for a new one. What a Monopoly AMB has
going ! #&@(+!.
I can buy a new flat screen TV for less. I guess when your a sole supplier to
organized racing in the US you can name your own price.
I'm a little annoyed that SCCA, NASA, IMSA, IRL and NASCAR put up with it. A
conspiracy theorist might suggest they are equity partners
with AMB. Their gross profit from these thingsB must exceed
70%.............end rant.

John, I am looking to purchase one also, my rechargeable isn't holding charge
anymore.

Can't tell from website, will this new version still work for timing and
scoring at track if you don't have a subscription?

Thanks

Are any of you up to date on the changes with the MyLaps (old AMB) business
model? My rechargeable transponder won't hold a charge (after about 12 years)
so I'm investigating the guys that say they can put in a new battery. Now I
get an email from MyLaps announcing their new X2 system and it appears that
going forward you need a subscription (the razor blade?) with it. (Probably
with all kinds of smart phone connectivity/apps with data on where you're
losing time on track so we'll need drop down, flat screen monitors on our
bonnet between sessions!)

Have any of the tracks or clubs indicated a switch over to "new" systems or
will an old AMB transponder work for the foreseeable future? Are now going to
have "vintage" transponders, too?
