A couple of weeks ago I lost my beloved GG on a golf course. It had my iAtty attached so all in all about £180 or something lost. Luckily a very nice man found it and I got it back.
Anyway it encouraged me to find a cheaper PV for out and about. I went to Maplins, bought £4 worth of bits and made this. I think it resembles a walkie talkie. It works really well and was quite easy to make.
Lesson learned.

I came over all hot & clammy until I read you'd had your GG returned Lee . . . thank goodness there are still some honest people in the world.
Your walkie talkie looks like a very wise precaution!

Thanks Perpy and Scylla, the box is just a pre made thing from Maplins for modding. I don't even enjoy golf, it was my brother in laws Captains day thing. I was very relieved to get my GG back, I didn't think anyone would find it on such a huge amount of fairways. If I have to go out anywhere again I'd rather lose this £4 box mod than any of my other stuff.
I'm planning on making another one, then maybe a juice feeder then I might try a 5v and finally maybe a VV. It's nice to have options.
