EM4x50 or not?

Can someone share some lights about the current implementation of EM 4x50?

I have a (yet) unknown tag. hw tune shows drop at 125 kHz. Original repo shows it as EM4x50. The RFID repo shows it as unknown.

org repo:

proxmark3> lf search u
NOTE: some demods output possible binary
  if it finds something that looks like a tag          
False Positives ARE possible
          

Checking for known tags:
          
Found data at sample: 3591 - using clock: 64          
Block 0: 00000000          
Parities Passed          

Valid EM4x50 ID Found!

What makes me wonder is that according to org repo the tag should not contain any data (the whole block is 0).

Two questions:

• Which repo is right, should I use for lf tags?

• Are EM 4x50 tags fully supported or is this work in progress?

Thanks!

Re: EM4x50 or not?

Use the one that works for your tag

Make a trace and share here (alt, send to me)
