Default RE: Ignition power from receiver?

Guys,

I thought about this thread some...and NOW - I got the message loud and clear ... so I just finished designing a new Optical Ignition Cut-off switch tonight. I am ordering boards overnight...

Some guys just want optical kill and seperate batteries - to be sure there is no EMI/RFI interference - there is no issue with the IBEF but I understand the reasons to be skeptical and safe.

The IBEF is outselling the optical switches but there are still a lot of optical switches being sold to people who just want an optical kill switch to be safe. I just got the numbers yesterday and was surprised how many were being sold...so I am going to offer both... the IBEF is a better solution but for the doubters and conservative folks I am going to offer an optical cut off as well.

So, I have a new optical cut-off that will be shipping in about 4-6 weeks. Many advantages over the other ones on the market and the lowest cost on the market. I will have samples next week... anyone want to be a beta tester? (get product at half price if you promise to post and provide feedback)....

I still think the IBEF is a better solution but I am here to give people what they want...so this product is on the fast track... less than 6 weeks until inventory at distributors with a $29.95 MSRP...
