Check Radio Shack. You can get the parts to build your own. Get a small kit box and they have the beepers or buzzers as well. Then you could get a transformer to run them all at the same time. Don't have a price on a transformer right now but you could do the whole project for under a hundred. If a transformer is too pricey use a small automotive battery charger and clip the wires into the alligator clips for power.
Or you can opt for the electric fence! That works for horses... ----- Original Message ----- From: Chanting Monks To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 17, 2008 10:33 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Things that beep? The wife suggested one of those invisible fences and the dog collar, but I think I prefer the foam padded posts. :) Yesterday, I spoke to the customer service reps at Crutchfield, which has always been very good. My bottom of the barrel price for the wireless speakers would be a couple of hundred bucks. With Christmas coming and nobody ever knowing what to get me, seems I might be adding speaker wire and some inexpensive indoor/outdoor speakers to my wish list and go from there. After searching Target, Wal Mart and Radio Shack, we couldn't find any small, transistor sized radios. I could hang four dirt-cheap boom boxes out there, but I run into the price of batteries again. I think I may wind up ordering some inexpensive speakers, running the speaker wire along the bottom fence rail in 1 inch PVC pipe to protect it from weather and animals, and going that route. I had thought I might be able to find some beeper devices for ten bucks that took triple or double A batteries and live with that temporarily, but so far, no dice.
