Many Thanks! I haven't examined it closely but at first glance it looks like some cosmetic damage would be done trying to get inside the unit? For $8,000, I'm not that interested in knowing.

Being technically challenged and totally gullible about electronics, it would have been my guess that the trace around the circuit, and the trace around the sensor were both parts of the antenna system.

What kind of a sensor do you suspect might be behind the epoxy. Do you think it would cause the device to beep when receiving certain brodcast radio frequencies? That's looks like some comparative heavy duty wire coming out of a sensor?

The unit we are using doesn't require someone with a transmitter to cause it to beep on cue. In the conditions of this area we have subjected it to, it often beeps continously.

Another question, is there an output frequency, or does it appear to receive only?

Right now, I will reserve my opinion on it's merit in the field until I learn, and understand more about it.

Thanks for your input. The photos are very helpful. Dell
