@RSJB18 posted:Adding a bypass of the wireless controls for conventional operation shouldn't be a budget buster. A worth while add IMHO.
My definition of fully functional conventional control includes the following:
*Speed varies with AC voltage
*Power break cycles direction F-N-R-N
*DC offsets activate whistle/horn and bell
Optionally:
*Patterned DC offsets activate crew talk
Simply bypassing the electronics and going through a rectifier for forward only operation misses the mark.
