Still not sure but Stuart guesses around 40 quid. Still some unknown costs
though so this may vary

Ignoring the aerials the unit will be about 6 by 4 inches.

Area of coverage is between the aerials so let that be your guide. The
aerials can be remotely positioned from the main unit by using shielded
cable like coax. As soon as teh shielding is stopped the aerial becomes
'active' and starts sensing. You can change aerial material at that point
as
well. You cannot put the aerials behind two book cases and expect them to
cover the whole room.
