Special pricing on Harrys and Decoder Upgrades coming to an end on 31st March.
The introductory pricing on Harrys and the trade in prices on Decoders will come to an end at the end of March. If you want to take advantage of these prices please don't delay. You can order Harrys at the introductory price now and we will ship them when they are in stock. 9th March 2010.

Harry sees Red
The LED in the Harry transponder has been changed. It is now always RED. One flash per second means it is OK, 5 flashes per second means it's temperature is less than 5c of the voltage is less than 3.5v or more than 12v. The reason for the change was that some people thought the green LED was yellow or orange. Be assured that as long as it is flashing, it is working! 1st March 2010.

Harry trade in - April at the earliest
We are still waiting for stock for the trade in. Demand for Harrys is outstripping supply which is causing the delay. As soon as we get trade in stock we will start offering the trade in at the advertised prices. 5th March 2010.

Cash in the attic? - Offer ends 31 March 2010
If you have an old AMB20 system you can trade it in for a brand new AMBrc 3 Decoder. Click on the Decoder picture for more information.

Harrys now out of stock!
We are out of stock and there is a big backlog or orders. It is unlikely that there will be any Harrys available from us before April. We do have good supplies of clips though.

A Double and Three Halves - Meet Harry!
This is Harry, full name MYLAPS RC4 Hybrid Direct Power Transponder. Double the output signal, about half the size and weight as the older RC2 transponder, operates on a wider voltage range (2.8-16v), has PTFE power cable, reports extra information back to race control and much cheaper than its predecessor. Lots of good stuff here. I can confirm Harrys work with the older Decoders and the previous Transponders and copies work with the RC4 Decoder. This is evolution, not revolution. Harrys will be available soon with a very special UK launch price. Click on the image for details. Over the next few weeks we will be taking Harry to some race meetings for you to try and buy at an even better price. Don't delay, the special price is only for a short time. We have 200 on order and it will be first come first served. Oh, just in case you wondered, there is a trade in offer on the "old" style transponder, and the clones as well. I would tell you the price, but you wouldn't believe me.
