I installed a similar alarm. Compustar two way paging. I can control
it from quite far away, and it alerts me if anything is happening with
my car. They claim like 1.25 mile range. I don't quite get that far,
but it's still significant. Best investment ever.
No microwave here. Don't give people a reason to damage your car by
warning them for "getting too close." I have a two stage shock sensor
so minor stuff will chirp a few times to say "Hey, knock it off". But
those cars that chirp just because you walk past them are /begging/ to
be keyed, or worse.
