Hi Guys.
Boy, I had a feeling this would get more complicated.
The additional ideas all sound pretty reasonable to me, and standardization
will be necessary if we want to plug in a radio for the convention.
I don't think anyone wants to spend $50K doing it though.
Lets try to keep this simple.
As a minimum standard for this application, all we really need is "what
size is the welded coupling" and we can screw what ever comes along into
it.
If we don't use it, it just gets a hard plug with pookie.
I would suggest we make the coupling big enough to accomodate a multi pin
plug. I favor a 1 inch coupling size only because it would be large enough to
accept mostly any size. It's easy enough to add a reducer bushing into it and
still leave enough room for multiple pins.
The proposed Subcon part looks fine for the convention radio, and even has
two extra pins.
As for ABS cert.........much like what we already use as guidelines, it
doesn't need to pass any tests but just be "up to the standards" of ABS.
