electronic chime question

Post by dacflyer »

has anyone used one of these chimes from radio shack ?
Catalog #: 273-071
i cannot get an answer out of customer service.
i asked if the chime is a ding dong sound or is it like a siren ( police car ) or just a 2 tone hi-lo ?
if anyone can tell me, i'd be greatful..
i'd hate to go buy one then have to return it,just because its not what i want.
thanks.

I don't think it's either. I'm fairly certain it's mislabled and is in fact just a buzzer.

Customer reviews say it's a hi-lo tone.

sorry, didn't get the answer soon enough , so i went to the shack.
the guy there was nice enough to let me open the pack and test it with a 9-BOLT battery..lol
yup, it is actually a ding dong sounding chime.. not hi-lo sounding.
sounds like a store entry chime..of the quickie mart..
thanks again guys..

And all along I thought a "ding-dong" sound was the same as a "hi-lo" sound! :mrgreen:
