A customer asked if I could use a two position channel combined with the wireless winch controller to let him work two winches. Sounded like a plan to me!
Use the two position channel on your remote control to select the front or rear winch. Use the remote control fob (not pictured here) to work the selected winch.

The picture shows an enhancement to this part:
Wireless Winch Controller

You can work a winch with a two position channel... it's okay, but I'm sure everyone that has the choice would rather use a three position type controller. This is an interesting take on a way to get some more use from your remote that is limited by a two position third channel.

Would this sort of thing be of any use to anyone else?

I think that's dang clever!

If I didn't already have my radio hacked, I'd be all over that..

The funny thing is that the guy I made if for has a GT3C with the new firmware.

Ironic...

One of these days I'll need to talk to you about a stealthy rig mounted switch to flip-flop between front/rear winches so I can run 2 winches without having to buy and mount a second controller..

Sure, that's an easy one. Just send me a PM when you are ready.
