   I have *three* AAs !  The ultrasonics need nearer 5V.   
      
   It worked fine on my desk here but the signal strength was around -87dBn  ..   
      
   Now it's outside on the far side of a garage I seem to have lost about 6dB.   
      
   I should be able to make that up with some sort of reflector.   
      
   It will all be a bit suck it and see sadly.  I have nothing beyond a    
   mobile phone to measure field strength with...
