    DVOA has an epunch training kit that is available to loan if scheduled in advance or if the kit is not planned already be used.   The kit consists of 12 controls, stands and epunch boxes numbered 201-212.  The controls are not numbered. In addition there are 15 finger sticks.  The kit has a clear, start and finish along with a printer that will print out the controls and times in the order they are visited.  It does not check for mispunches or out of order controls and it does not save times...only print individual results.  There is no setup required except that the timing device must be charged prior to use.   The kit is kept at our home and can be scheduled for use through Mary Frank (frankdvoa@aol.com)  Those using the kit are responsible for making sure all equipment is returned at the end of their use to us as soon as is possible and before the next planned use.  Some programs are planned months in advance and take priority over last minute scheduling.  The kit is simple to use and gives participants a feel for epunch.   If you have questions you can email me at orienteer7 at aol dot com.

    Thanks Mark, thats a great ACCESS TO E punch EQUIPMENT  feature for DVOA  trainers to utilize.  And you make it sound so simple for members to use.  as it ignors the flag code, and I assume only lists the finish time on a persons completed trainer course, do you input names or does it just list the E punch a (15)codes?

    The printer prints  separate results for each epunch that is downloaded. There is no master results and no memory in the system...just a plain printer.  Nothing can be entered.
