buy a STAMPFL Blue Wave, put it in a suitable (aluminium) housing for 
Outdoor use and apply it to a copper or aluminium loop. The PVC shit 
will not least long in the sunlight.

The performance of the Blue Wave is better, the circuitery is well 
documented and it's repairable.

Kauft Euch eine STAMPFL Blue Wave, baut die in ein geeignetes 
Aludruckgußgehäuse und schließt sie an eine Loop aus Kupfer oder 
Aluminium an. Der PVC-ScheiXX hält in der Sonne nicht sehr lange.

Die Performance der Blue Wave ist besser, die Schaltung komplett 
dokumentiert und reparierbar.
