AJ Luxton (ID: 00000038cc4dc8a3) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/05/2017 I used this for a few days and it was all right, but it had no volume adjustment and when I adjusted the frequency the extension would not remember where I'd set it. This led to too many piercing loud noises late at night and I didn't want to wake the neighbors. I would have liked to continue using it and wish it would have some way of remembering settings.
