Sorry, but that is not correct.
The system listens for three distinct tones from the Fox 40 whistle and stops the clock. I met Mike a long time ago at a camp in Tennessee where he was demonstrating the system. In fact, he mentioned to me that Fox 40 and him made some sort of agreement so that it would work with their whistles -- otherwise he was going to come out with his own whistle as well!
The system will not stop just because air is blown into it... If it did that it would be stopping all the time falsely!
