Tech Notes from the Field

As we have the first NVs here, we did a modification yesterday on the NV20s which will allow for a quick reset of the embedded AUI computer.  We found that on occasion we need to reboot the AUI due to some quirk of nature.  It is a PC after all.  NO, this does NOT effect the operation of the transmitter.  Don’t be scared.  We added a toggle switch!  Basically this switch will turn power off to the AUI.  We chose to switch power instead of doing a reset because you never know when you need to shut her down without turning the transmitter off.

We mounted the switch to the cover.  Yes, that means we need to be careful when removing the cover for service, but how often would we need to do this.  The only time we ever remove the cover is to reset the AUI!  You can find a picture of the mod here:  NV-Switch Modification

The installation was simple.  We have also considered connecting a switch to our remote control for the super rare case that we cannot access the AUI remotely.  We have never had this situation, so we tossed the idea.

Happy modifications!
