AMB Question
I've had this AMB transponder on one of my cars for about 5 years with no problem. The last time I was out it didn't register laps. The green power light is on.
The transponder is not registered to me and I'm trying to pin down who it's registered to from the past few owners.
Questions:
1). Does this transponder have a lifetime use without subscription ?
2). How does one go about transferring ownership? It's not clear to me from the mylaps site.

Yes, AFAIK, lifetime no subscription required.
Because no subscription required, go to the Timing and Scoring person next event and "associate" that transponder number with your name and car number. Should be all that is required.
Speedhive should be updated with your info after they upload that information.

Registering a used transponder -

If the battery is dying there are a few places that will replace it, or convert it to direct wired. I/O Port is one I found from a quick search.

You can just email Mylaps and they will register it in your name.
As long as the organization that you run with can associate the transponder number with you for a particular event, there is no need to change registration with Mylaps. If the transponder number does not register with the organization that you run with, it’s broken.

Most tech inspectors have a device to check signal strength on the transponder.

At home you can check the signal strength of a transponder with an AM radio set to a non-working frequency band i.e.all you hear is static. A working transponder will cause audible interference when the radio is brought near it. Not the most precise test, but could be informative if you are able to compare results from a known working transponder.

Look up East Coast Transponders. They are the closest repair place near us and can help. They do a ton of battery units like yours.
