Look at a recent Electronics and you should find an ad for Timeline.
You should be able to get a few hundred feet out of them and they
cost $100/unit and can run off of batteries.

But, you are out of luck. Timeline has sold out of those units.
It's a pity, I'd love to get another pair of them.
Anybody willing to part with theirs?
