«-- The Ides of March--The Dreaded Margin Calls Have Begun at Banks and Hedge Funds | Main | Jim's Quote of the Day: --»
Note from JWR:
Congrats to Stephen H., the high bidder in our recent
SurvivalBlog benefit auction. Today we are starting a new auction.
This
one is for three radios: MURS Alert Base station, a MURS Alert Hand-held transceiver,
and a Kaito KA-1102 AM/FM/Shortwave. These radios were kindly donated by
the owner of Affordable Shortwaves and MURS Radios. If
you aren't
familiar
with the Dakota Alert infrared perimeter security system, take a few minute
to look at the Dakota
Alert web site. These alarms are very reliable and versatile.
I often recommend them to my consulting clients--especially those that plan
to
have lightly-manned retreats. You can easily set up multiple detector/transmitter
sensors to provide 360 degree perimeter security for a large area. Instead
of just a
generic
alarm, they will let you know which sensor was tripped, via a computer-generated
voice message to a radio that you can carry
on your
belt. (Such as "Alert, Zone Two.") The same radio can be used for
point-to-point voice communications, on the little-used MURS band. The three
radios have a
retail
value of $210.
The opening bid for the combined lot of three radios is just $50. The auction
ends on April 15th. Please e-mail us your
bids, in $10 increments.
