I purchased a Marc Parnes Visual Alert in mid-August. It's attached to my
Valentine One Gen2 through a Valentine One Audio Controller, as per Marc's
design. It worked initially for a few weeks, but last week I noticed it was no
longer flashing.
I emailed Marc with the news, and he asked me to check some things. I was
also hoping to see someone at this weekend's Lupe Tortilla RTE with the same
Visual Alert so I could test, but no luck.
I just sent Marc the results of my local testing:
o With just the VI Audio Adapter, I hear the beeps coming from the Audio Adapter
*and* V1 G2 (expected).
o Connecting a speaker to the front head-set port on the Audio Adapter, I get beeps
thru the speakers (expected).
o Connecting the Visual Alert to the rear speaker port (required), I don't hear anything
from the Audio adapter nor any flashing from the Visual Alert (problem).
I'm waiting for Marc's response via email. Has anyone else had any issues like this
with their Visual Alert? I'm tempted to ship it back for evaluation, but FedEx wants
more than the cost of the Visual Alert to get it there in a timely manner. I need to get
it working for the Rally trip on November 5.
