it uses radio frequency (RF) to page and receive signals, like the scorpio's do, but on different frequencies of course. The rated range is 1/2 mile but if you have ever experienced ratings like these (such as with walkie talkies) you'll know they are embellishments. I'm sure it'd go half a mile on a nice cool day, flat land, and clear sight of bike. But for normal conditions, which for me are behind a series of thick walls in the physics department, it won't go half a mile. But it's to be expected. No other remote alarm would work either unless they use a more penetrating signal than RF.
I was at the bar last night and it worked in there, where I was probably a hundred yards away. Luckily too because a few drunk people were getting a little to close to her. Then the LOUD LOUD siren went off and they backed off.
Let me reemphasize that the siren is quite loud.
Well worth the $140. I recommend not hooking up the anti-hijack feature though for two reasons: The first, the main one, is that it has this stupid reminder thing when you turn ignition off that the siren chirps three times, very loudly. Bad thing when coming home from bar at 3am. Second, if someone's stealing the bike, what are the chances they're gonna try using the key?
So I'll be unhooking the brown wire tonight probably (the antihijack wire).

I think I'd have been yelled at for hanging out in the bay and taking pics on the clock...
