Little grey cells thinking about the PMR radio Idea Wildman. Your idea is ingenious.
There's prob enough room in most PMR walkie talkie bodies to house a small socket wired to the "call" switch. This would allow the remote pressure pad to be plugged in, and when trodden-on, activate the call function. With this this modification the radio would not have to be dedicated just to alarm function as it'd still function normally when unplugged.
By "Call" switch I mean the button on Cobra and Mororola radios that when pressed sends a multi-note tone burst.
The radio would not be in continuous transmit mode. It'd just send the multi note tone burst when the pressure pad was activated.. Neat.

I wouldn't dream of using one for that purpose, but its the kind of thing that could easily be adapted
I have been trying to find one but as yet I cant,.. will keep looking, I saw them on an American show, so might not be able to get them here
Maybe they only work on American dogs??? :-)
