Thanks for your help. I was wondering if there was a device someone could use temporarily say on a weekend when the stores are closed? I was thinking about some nichrome wire? Paul

wireless headphones

I recently purchased a pair of wireless headphones that are 49 mhz. My wife who has a hearing problem doesn't like headphones to hear Direct TV channels. Is there a 49mhz receiver with speaker that could be set on the kitchen table to help her? Paul

110 v a.c. annunciator

I would like to connect a ll0 v a.c. pleasant sounding alarm to a motion activated light. I don't want to use a door bell or chime unit. I would also like to have the alarm sound off once and then turn off even though the light continues on. Any ideas Thanks Paul
