Hi Peter, I was making them a while ago but I couldn't give them away for $15 so I stopped. Macca use to buy most of them anyway. I have enough bits here to make another 100 or so of them.

Cheers, Danny.

Building one that cuts out when the battery dies or disconnects is easy with practically any relay. We're finishing one up now that is similar to the MHZ one without the usual MHZ price tag ($85). Regular failsafe loss of signal kill, power loss kill, and 3rd chanel kill. Should be burning the micro chips next week sometime for the prototypes...
