Note from JWR:
The high bid in the current SurvivalBlog
Benefit Auction lot is now at $210. This
auction is for four items: a MURS Alert Base station, a MURS Alert Hand-held
transceiver, an earbud, 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 auction ends on April 15th. Please e-mail us
your bids, in $10 increments.
