Question:
I have a bkr2012 Patriot brake box that's missing its remote. Can I adjust force at the unit? Does a replacement remote exist for sale?

Hello Tom.
I am very sorry but you will not be able to adjust the force of this unit without a remote on the older BRK2012. There is no longer a remote available for this unit, so in order to be able to adjust it you would need to purchase a new Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System - Proportional # BLU37TR.
I never like to be the bearer of bad news, so I wish I had a different answer.

Hey Tom, how did adjusting the gain on your Patriot brake box go using the jog switch? Your update could make it easier for the next person working without a remote.
