Note from JWR:
The high bid in the current SurvivalBlog
Benefit Auction lot is now at $230. 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.
