I came across this device when researching anti theft devices. I think that it has alot of potential for many applications. Just thought that some of you would be interested as well.

I have had my mobility bike stolen so I have been looking for ways of tracking a replacement if it gets stolen and this sounds great. No monthly charges but only works in a 7 klm range.

It is probually for the same reasons that the GRMS radios were delayed in Canada. The Radio Frequencies used by these devices to communicate between each device are already licensed out to someone else. With the GMRS radios, they had to change the private companies license for those frequencies, thereofre there would not be any interference with the non paying public. I believe that in the USA, you need a license to to operate the GMRS, not here in Canada.

Give them time but it will come here and also be free but I knew of people that had the GMRS in operation here before they became legal.

I think the concept is just awesome! 7km is an impressive range, it is a bit expensive, but if it brings home the family dog..
I could see it being a comfort with a kid too, not around the neck of course, but it would be a nice peace of mind to slip one in a kids pocket in a place where they tend to wander, camping, adventure parks..
I could think of a thousand uses for that device.
