Bravo! It took about a week, but I finally got some correct answers to my RF puzzler. It is, in fact, a remote meter for water consumption, as you can see by the uncropped version of the picture below. In fact, in the picture you can see the abandoned telephone connection (which was the "high tech" way to monitor water consumption five years ago, that is until people started using companies other than the telephone company to run their phone calls, and these cable and fiber companies were not compelled to support the township's extra phone lines. Seemed a bit of a waste to have a dedicated phone number to call my water meter four times a yearbut that's another story.)
The actual designer of the product has not stepped forward, but a fair number of you guessed, and three answered correctly, with the first one being Robert Hahn from Wisconsin. Next, came Steve Jackson, CTO of RadarFind Corp., in Morrisville, NC. One more reader answered correctly as well, but I have not heard back from him with permission to post his name. I will add it if I can. Congratulations!
Hope you enjoyed this little exercise. If you know more about this device or if you have an idea for the next puzzler, email me at rfpuzzler@writesol.com.
