Rob at MURS Radios mentioned that he was able to acquire a number of the Dakota Alert MURS Motion Alert Transmitters (MATs) at a discount. Instead of the usual price of $99, he now has them at $89 each (plus shipping.) If you already have MURS capable radios (even from other manufacturers) or a scanner you can still receive the voice alerts from these security devices. If the MAT detects motion across its path it transmits a voice alert (such as “Alert Zone One”) on a specific MURS frequency. These devices make great driveway, footpath, gate, or game trail alarms and can help to secure your property by alerting you to intruders.
