Wonder how much one from out there would get on Ebay.
There may be some un-used ones on public land just waiting to be
picked up.
Well Chuck Clark could tell you about those kind of adventures. ;-) I
suggest leaving the ground sensors in the ground. Lately I can't get a
camo dude to even snoop on me. Last time I went to Bald Mountain,
nobody showed up. The same goes for Road Block Canyon. We didn't
cross the border even though the warning signs are gone.
There are Vietnam era ground sensors that show up surplus from time to
time. My problem is they use frequencies in the air band. I don't
recall if civil or mil air, but either band is not cool nor legal to
transmit on. I don't even like those cheap FM transmitters since they
could wander into the civilian air band. Not so much danger with the
low power transmitters, but the bootleg FM stations can be trouble.
Murphy Surplus has those Vietnam era ground sensors from time to
time.
Regarding unused sensors, it is hard to say. You would think a dude
would just pick up unused sensors. They will certainly be ruined by
the cheap ass 9V batteries used to power them that will eventually
leak. I've got the schematics for the ground sensors. Very primitive
design and marginal (OK, non-existent) power management. They
literally parallel a pile of 9V batteries. I could see the dudes
wanting to get rid of sensors since they are a maintenance hassle.
Locating an unused sensor wouldn't be all that hard. They are
generally on both sides of 4 way intersections so direction of travel
can be detected.
Getting back to the sensors, I never found a "people sniffer" sensor
for MIDS or EMIDS. You can't prove a negative, but I think their use
on the range is speculation or rumor.
Could be they don't even use any ground sensors now,there seems to be
a suggestion that even many cameras are dummy types.If you will,why
bother with folks outside the fence thats public land just go get 'em
when they are on their side.Is that why they didn't show up when you
visited places they nearly always showed up.
