Hi Roger,
Long time.., no see! Hope we can make it to the Cat Fight this year.
Yep, the Ronstan is the cat's meow and you can set the countdown time to any set of numbers.
The best part is when you are sitting around waiting for the RC and they suddenly throw up a flag. Well, you hit the button, but are you a few seconds off, 5, 10 20? Who knows.
No Problem! When the next flag/sound goes off click on "Sync" and it nails it at the exact minute.
Also, I use it for multiple starts as RC. At the Annual Tradewinds we use 3 min starts and have about 6 fleets start. I can set it to count down from three and keep repeating the sequence.
Or you can set it to countdown and then up to get the elapsed time.
Sells for around $112 on our Store.
