lol....vipers.....never did quite understand how they worked! I know they loved a bit of wind though, my mate had a set, couldn't shut the things up once a light SW breeze began....

I remember the AVA alarms, never seen them on the bank though, did they ever really take off?

After losing a set of delkims years ago I was forced to purchase some vipers due to lack of funds.They were ok though, if a little prone to bleep with the slightest bit of wind, and still got them now in a cupboard somewhere.

My bitech viper sounder box finally gave up the ghost this winter - a very sad day indeed. I will be laying it to rest in the garden in the spring next to my garden pond.
