November 10, 2025Nov 10 Hi RogerI am just finalising a Start Box which comes with Audio, but fully editable by you.Set up as follows when shippedSwitch Position 1 (Duplicated on remote - Button A) - 2 Minute count downSwitch Position 2 (Duplicated on remote - Button B) - Cancel/StopSwitch Position 3 (Duplicated on remote - Button C) - 1 Minute Warning followed by 2 Minute count downSwitch Position 4 (Duplicated on remote - Button D) - 2 Minute Warning followed by 2 Minute count downSwitch Position 5 - 3 Minute Warning followed by 2 Minute count downSwitch Position 6 - 1 Minute CountdownSwitch Position 7 - UnusedSwitch Position 7 - UnusedThese are the default recording but you can add/replace them with any MP3 of your choice.Button 1 on the Box plays the file selected on the switch, Button 2 Cancels2 Integrated 10W speakers which can be replaced with external speakers via jack plugs on the box. I use my 30W horn speaker and it is loud...All powered by any 2S Rechargeable Battery, LiPo, LiFe, Li-ion etc using the battery balance connector.We will have these at the MYA AGM but please contact me in advance if you would like any further detail.

November 11, 2025Nov 11 Author This sounds like a good solution. I await availability and of course price. I love the simplicity ( it seems?).. You might consider making the speaker optional as we have a pre installed speaker, which hopefully is compatable.

Their design has moved on a bit since this picture. Please take a look here for the current situation. https://catcomponents.co.uk/collections/start-boxesRegardsWayne
