NK Gives Some Input

I sent a note to NK asking for ideas of how to connect the microphone and radio to the coxbox amplifier, while preventing the radio from overpower the system. The query bounced around at NK and was answered by Paul Nielsen himself, who confirmed an R-C setup was used to limit the signal from the radios. He also recommended that I not use BNC/F adaptor connectors. I totally agree and will have to look into a local source for BNC crimp-on, or twist-on connections.

Frank Biller at NK was a great resource and was very interested in how I was using this coxbox system. He said they were interested in working with people that came up with better mousetraps, and that they were interested in working with people that had new ideas like this, to create products from them. So for the hundreds of people out there that have said "I've got an idea for a better rowing widget": you should explore working with NK to get your idea patented, and sold. They've got the infrastructure to do that.
