Abstract:
A personal, portable alarm system comprising:a housing; a first interface, operatively associated with said housing, for providing connections to speaker and microphone channels of an individual's portable radio; a second interface, operatively associated with said housing, for providing connections to an individual's remote speaker and a remote microphone; a communication channel, located within said housing, that connects said first interface with said second interface so that when the individual's portable radio is active, the individual is able to hear communications received by the portable radio on the individual's remote speaker and to have oral communications that are spoken into the individual's remote microphone conveyed to the portable radio for transmission; and alarm processing means, substantially located within said housing, for receiving a sensor radio signal from a remote sensor that indicates that an event has occurred adjacent to the location of the remote sensor, processing said sensor radio signal, and interjecting an alarm signal into said communication channel for transmission to an individual's remote speaker to audibly inform the individual that an event has occurred adjacent to the location of the remote sensor.
