Some years ago I installed a Byron door bell that is a bell, not a chime, and you can hear it all over the house.

New neighbours have put in a request for me to do the same for them, and their house is significantly larger than mine. But Byron have been bought over and the SX15 battery wireless door BELL is no longer available.

Anyone know of particularly loud wireless chimes or a wireless bell?

I have a couple of brand new Byron bells (the butler sort)!

And a bell pull..with cord and pulleys.

BTW...on a DIY note.

Our bell push activates all of the phones in the house ringing with a
special cadence. We never miss the bell now, but getting to the door
before the ParcelForce man runs away is another story.

If its electronic it must be capable of feeding its output to something
else like an amp I'd have thought.
I think some bells and intercoms can have multiple bell pushes and multiple
remote handsets or stations. I'd imagine it would be more expensive.
Another thing to think about is sites that sell items for the hard of
hearing of course.

The ideal would be a base station with a simple relay on its output. That
would allow you to use a sounder of your choice. You can still buy the
'normal' underdome bell from TLC, etc.

The "own brand" chimes I bought in Wickes are pretty loud. You get one
mains sounder and one battery sounder. Choice of 4 chimes (IIRC).

If you have a problem with my attitude, that's your problem.

One thing I don't like about wireless push-buttons is that they merely
trigger the sounder to give its standard response. Wired bells gave you some
indication of how desperate the caller was, by length and spacing of rings.

Friedland offer a very good, very reliable wireless chimes system. It
has longer range, 100m outdoors and more than one chimes unit can be
added to it. It is very loud and there are a few tunes to choose from.
Some have a bright flashing light, useful for the deaf or were you want
to be sure it has been triggered. Unlike some, I have never known them
be false triggered.

Make your own!

I did it when I was about 9 by just folowing some simple
instructions - try the local junior library (if they have
any 'proper' books anymore).

We used mine as our doorbell for many years.

A wireless one? Not bad for a 9 year old.

AC or DC underdome bells are still readily available. The wireless bit may
be more of a problem.

Ah - overloooked that the wireless requirement is a must.

I think I might have had a bit of trouble getting octal
valves into the bell push ...

Indeed, but there were some very small valves available to the public
in the early 1950's before transistors came along later in the decade.
I remember acorn valves, but there was also a little triode about 3 cm
long and the thickness of a pencil, IIRC. May have been gas-filled.
Both types were used in radio controlled model aircraft.

Ah - but my pocket money didn't run to anything fancy like
that and the octal types didn't cost me anything!

The real problem with valves was the power supply for the portable bit.
Like the bell push in this instance.

I'm old enough to just remember valve radio mics. But can't remember what
batteries they used.

Probably used the B7G 'battery' valves (e.g. DF96). 1.4v filament and 90v
anode.

Or even the car radio ones which used 12 volt 'HT' as well as 12 volt

Hardly. Those had either 6.3V 300mA or 12.6V 150mA heaters -
you would have needed a hefty battery (or accumulator) to
power those!
