There wa a guy flogging his home-made version of a sound beacon at sight
village. Advantage over the rnib models was that it was a 2 unit device, the
beacon activated by a button on the 2nd wireless unit. E.g press the button to
stop/start the alarm. The wireless comms means it works through doors walls etc.
Down side was the price. I thought £60 was a lot!
If you think it's worthwhile have a look at the SV website or ask around to see
if anyone still has a copy of the catalogue and can work out which vender it
was from.

Hi All,
It would seem that RNIB no longer sells sound beacons. does anyone have an
alternative solution for a blind person to orientate themselves outdoors?
