Your Question:
I am looking for an alert system for my father who stays in an RV resort during the winter months. I am not looking for a system that hooks up to a service, but am looking for something that he can use (push a button in case he needs help) that would notify a friend that would be located less than 1/4 mile away. The alert could just be a sound to notify his friend that he needs him to come to my Dad’s RV for help.
Can you make a suggestion? Thanks

Hi Ernie,
Your request is a common one to a medical alarm service. I have not seen any reviews that deal with this issue. Basically, it sounds like you are looking for a noise maker that would wake up all the other RV’ers to reach his friend a ¼ mile away.
I think your best solution is a monitored system. What you want is usually asked to notify someone in the same home…for that I think Radio Shack may have an answer.
My suggestion is that your dad, if he is not to use a medical alarm service that is monitored would be to carry a cell phone on his person at all times with a speed dial set for his friend.
Sincerely,
Jeff
