Personal transponders

[dajracer]

If you look at the MyLaps site, the transponders they are showing are the new style. The way I read it, these units will not be available till the Spring. They are cheaper than the units most of us run, which makes them very inviting and actually they are a comparable price to the MRT. Competition does wonders in the world of commerce.
I would rather see members get these units but then we would be waiting till later in the season. I believe AMB will also clone these new units.
Maybe we should look into these units a little further.

Here is the reply from MRT regarding my questions.

When you say a "new" custom ID, does that mean if I were to purchase more than 20 transponders, would there be any repetition in the numbers?
        The numbers supplied are AMBrc system numbers, you would
         not have a repetition the same as when you buy personal
         transponders from AMB.
What about the 20 alternative numbers, are they the same in each transponder?
         The 20 alternative ID numbers are
         standard 'generic' numbers, 2 sets of 10 numbers as when
         using rechargeable AMBrc transponders there are two sets
         of 10 numbers ending with the last digit 1 thru to 0.
         The alterntive numbers would be the same in all the PTX
         transponders you order.
What is the total number of numbers you are drawing from to get your custom ID numbers?
          This question was not answered.

So the way I read this:
           The transponders would all have different Custom ID but the alternative numbers would be the same on all the transponders ordered. I don't understand what is meant that AMB transponders could have duplicate numbers, I was under the impressin that all AMB transponders have different ID numbers.

Again it comes down to preference and availability, I guess.
