I'm thinking in terms of a well built gismo we can hang on good necklasses, 2 buttons, one makes the other unit scream for attention, the other acts as a walkie-talkie PTS. I don't even know if such a critter is available, but I don't want to be slaved to some monthly service like they tout endlessly on the telly. Something about the size of the fob for your car keys with its grouping of buttons. Those things are tough and can only be destructed by time & button battery failures. Working range maybe 100ft thru the alu siding of the house so it can catch me even if I'm on the rider trying to control my jungle.
