[Electronics-talk] Animal Locator

[Annette Carr]

My understanding is that they still have ones that require you to clap your
hands or whistle.  These both are easily set off by other noises in the
environment.  An advantage to these are that if you clap or whistle loud
enough it will set off the locator even if you are not in the same room as
the locator.  The button activated one does require you to be in the same
room.

That appears to be a different kind of keyfinder than the ones I was
referring to, because the old ones I knew about didn't have multiple pieces.

They just responded to sound.  They weren't a transmitter/receiver.  Pam.
