Hi Mark;

As I had mentioned before, I got an account at a local alarm distributor.  They carry
a product that is made by Linear Corp.  The product is a pendant transmitter.  It is
made to be installed in alarm systems for shop owners and home owners.  It is a transmitter
for someone to wear around their neck and has a pushbutton for panic type situations.
 The company is on the net at:

http://www.linearcorp.com/P WIRELESS COMPONENTS.HTM

This describes all the products they make, and the pendant in the lower right hand of
the picture is the one I'm talking about.  I contacted my distributor and found that
the pendant and reciever have switch settings like a garagedoor opener (1 of 256 code)
and must be set to match each other.  The receiver and transmitter are well under $100.
 You can then buy extra transmitters and put them on the same code and use the same
receiver.  Is this what you're looking for?

Scott.

Hi guys,
Might any of you know of a SMALL/PORTABLE transmitter, which 
upon detecting a contact closure, will transmit an RF signal
to a receiver, which will then either open/close another contact
OR send a message to a PC ?
To put it more simply, I need to monitor contact closures on
a device being worn on a person (sorry, but further details are
proprietary).

Inovonics HAD such a product (the FA210-C), but they apparently
have too much business to make another run for us, and so have left
me "twisting in the wind".

Sorry for the NON-ECS message, but I'm kinda desperate :-(.
Thanks,
