Yep, from AMB website.

I think mine is the direct one red x260. Around £130 from memory.

We use the AMB Transponder, no problems last year with it, no probs at Cadwell Park 08. Think it was about £120ish. Use the perm live one then its one less thing to think about on the start line.

I don't think they are £120. When we changed over from the old Kronit orange transponders to the new red AMB a couple of years ago there was a trade in discount but I'm sure I paid more than that even with the discount!

That sounds about right, there was such a stink caused by the forced move that mst sorted a deal out, if you traded in the old one..

IIRC it was the american company that licence the software who forced the change..
