Hi Vanagon list!

The best place I have found to get a Nighthawk model is Home Base.  I
once posted this to type Type2 list:

  Home Base is the place to get Carbon Monoxide testers!  Unlike JC
Whitney and Home Depot, they have a battery operated DC unit!  For $40,
Nighthawk makes a round unit that is shaped like a smoke alarm and has a
LCD read-out of the current CO level.  It uses 3 AA size batteries,
included, and they are supposed to last a year.  No need to even run a
wire!  I've tested it, and it works great.
