🔔 Dakota Alert MURS Alert Transmitter (MAT) - Battery Operated PIR Motion Sensor with Telescopic Antenna - Enhancing Multi Use Radio Service Review

I need a second transmitter as my driveway is quite long. I'm getting false positives from wild animals, so the second node confirms that someone is approaching the driveway. Once I put the batteries in and set the correct channel, it was ready to go. Synchronized with the database. The transmitter is identical to that supplied with the base unit. The LED can be switched, the degree of sensitivity to objects and channels can be changed. There is nothing special about it other than being…

First, this device works. However, it will gradually break down when exposed to the elements. Problems arise due to its overall construction and design. Previous versions of the case attempted to completely seal the insides, but this resulted in some condensation and deterioration of the electronics. A retractable metal antenna that allowed water to enter the fuselage was also a possibility. The current version is ventilated by small baffles surrounding the antenna mount and one that acts as a…

First of all, I'm a retired radio and aerospace engineer with a lot of RF experience. As many have said, previous units had many water/moisture issues. I've spoken to the engineers at Dakota Alert a lot and while they try to be extremely helpful, they aren't engineers! Priority number 1: use high quality ALKALINE or LITHIUM batteries! During transmission, these devices require a lot of power from the power supply. A limited current due to bad batteries will result in reduced performance! The…

See how well it works. So far, so good. The transmitter is a bit large and difficult to hide. But it can withstand rain and other outdoor elements. I have not used it in heavy rain or snow for review. Looks like you can setup your own power option instead of using 6 AA batteries. The TX can detect basic movement, which I can call attention to and look at the Wi-Fi camera for instant verification. It works and best of all: no usage fees. The applications are wide-ranging. I took it to my car…
