Dave (and all who have been following this thread),



You're right--Biodex no longer carries these chirpers, but there IS an 

alternative!  SE International has just developed the "SAFE-GUARD", a 

GM-tube-based chirper which will chirp with each count and/or alarm at one 

of several pre-set values.  Its alarm set-points can be changed with a 

rotary switch, but (by design) settings are not easily changed by the 

user--to prevent tampering.  I don't think it's on their website yet, but 

I'm told the price on it is in the "mid- to upper-$200 range".  I would 

guess that you could get more info by calling SE International (931 964 

3561; website is www.seintl.com).  (And no, I don't get any commissions by 

passing this info along!)



Best to all,



Sharyn
