Hope you are doing well, I am emailing you since I am the MCR editor and am tasked with watching the MCR. Our commitee has recently agreed to put more emphasis on keeping the MCR clean. I am assuming that you intended to send your Barryvox message out on the Informalex, and sent it to the MCR by mistake??
The Informalex is the place for opinion like these, the MCR is for mountain conditions. I think if there was some kind of official recall or otherwise then we might consider it, but my guess is that a message like this on the MCR will only undermine public confidence in Barryvox, but they have nowhere to go with this info since this is not an online forum they can respond to and ask questions. If indeed the Barryvox is not good then OK, but lets not broadcast that to the public via the MCR . . .
Can we keep the MCR to mtn conditions please? Thanks man.

Hi All
I have given up on my Barryvox opto 3000 completely. This week it
completely died and would not switch on. I changed the batteries,
scrubbed the terminals, Etc Etc. I will send it back to Barryvox But I
will not request that they fix it or send me another model or anything.
I have lost all confidence in this unit/company.
