Yah, I was shocked when Radio Shaft actually had some (a lot actually) =
but the price blew me away.

You may be right about the reciever as I did  not get a low batt at =
all...just 2 pirs & 1 gb & 1 pt went faulted the next day. Didn't notice =
any supervisory wiring though. Back when we were installing them I was =
not out in the field much like I am now. Its a small white reciever with =
a led in the middle and double antennas out the top...didn't mess with =
it on friday.
