 Waste of money January 8, 2009
Could not get it to work, so the money I paid for it is gone.
 Mighty Mule performs well for the cost January 7, 2009
The Mighty Mule Wireless FM131 Driveway alarm performed well for the cost and convenience of putting into service. No fancy "whistle & bells" features, just what we wanted it to do; alert us of approaching vehicles to our rural home in the mountains. We located ours approx. 250 feet from our house and it has alerted us of approaching vehicles as advertised. It occasionally goes off with some false alarms. Don't know why since it is only supposed to be sensitive to larger ferrous material but the alarms have not occurued often in enough for us to cosider this a poor product. Recommend to anyone who wants a simple alarm system.

Work's Great: Kids know when carpool is here in the morning without having to wait by the window. I picked up two extra for the grandparents who like to know when someone has pulled into their driveway. I suppose it will make it difficult for the kids to sneak in at night when they start to drive! I am putting one at our family beach house as well.
(I got a few false alarms at first, but reinstalling it into the ground tightly to avoid shifting and "rebooting" it by removing & replacing batteries as Mighty Mule Tech advised worked.)
Doesn't work December 28, 2008
I placed the mighty mule as per instructed and you can drive by it all day with no result, I am at a lose so I will store it.

NEVER GOT ONE TO WORK!!! The first one would only go off when I walked by with keys in my pocket with the base only 10 ft from the transmitter. I called GTO Tech Support since there is NOTHING about the product on their website and the only answer I got was to "reinstall the batteries" which of course I had already tried with several sets of batteries. They also suggested I could be getting some interference from some other wireless device. So, I shut off all of the wireless devices I have and even tried moving it 250 feet to my garage and even outside with extension cords with no help. Nothing would set it off! No vehicles passing within 3 feet or any heavy steel object could trigger it. Called GTO Tech Support again and they said it sounded defective and I would have to send it to them to check it out but I would have to pay shipping. I said I would rather send it back to Amazon since they DO pay shipping for defective products. Amazon was great as usual and agreed to send me a 2nd one and pay for return shipping on the first one. Got the 2nd one and it was just as bad as the first one. The only thing that would occasionally set it off was me walking by with keys in my pocket.
Called GTO tech support for the 3rd time and this time someone was willing to spend some time with me and had me try a number of things but the best we could do was get it to go off with me walking between the transmitter and the receiver with keys in my pocket. NOTHING ELSE WOULD TRIGGER AN ALARM. He offered to send me one that he had tested ok but wanted $35 MORE than AMAZON!!! Amazon was willing to send me another one but I had already spent about 4 hours more on this thing than a person should, so I decided to send the 2nd one back to Amazon who agreed to reimburse me for both units and return shipping.
Needless to say, I would recommend NO ONE BUY THIS THING until it is ready for market. I have been doing electronics repair for over 40 years and don't think the problem is likely to be anything but defective units. I would have given it ZERO STARS if I could have. GTO was clearly not interested in getting a satisfied customer.
