i went to the Asherton Post Office first thing this morning, first a surprise audit was going to take place, no purchases until after the audit. The package from Amazon was delivered by UPS to the post office, when ordering I thought it would come parcel post, so I used general delivery as an address. UPS could not deliver to road one mile north of US 83.

Base electric or battery power

I had ordered a Chamberlain driveway alarm system for our gate, one base (A/C adapter or 4 AA battery power) and two sensors. The alarms provided by the company (will no longer be provided) are only good for a six hundred foot range need frequent re-booting and many stray alerts. I ordered the same type alarm we used at out at last four gates, Chamberlain and these have a half mile range, each sensor chimes differently (4 AA battery power), easier to know which direction the vehicle is coming from. After I returned to the gate and opened the packages installed batteries and programmed them it was time the pound in a stakes and mount the sensors on the stake, they are working as advertised. We are now happy gate guards.
