  • Sorry, trying to follow here. Three locations: front door, kitchen and living room. 4 detectors: original front door, new front door, kitchen and living room?

    Original front door went off in situ and in the living room while holding it?

    New front door went off at front door. Swapped NFD with living room - NFD went off in living room.

    Moved NFD to kitchen and it went off in there too?

    Where are the K and LV detectors now? Have any of those gone off anywhere in the house? Are THEY functional? (Sorry if you already said, I’m trying to piece the bits together and mighta missed that)

    I had to look up what they actually do - although I’ve known the term since I was a kid. Basically it’s like a pipe bomb full of smaller explosives that is supposed to explode mid-air releasing LOTS of other explosives across a big area indiscriminately destroying anything in the little blammo’s radius. The baby bomblets can be fragmenting to destroy flesh, incendiary to explode and burn shit up, they may be anti-tank/vehicle, or even pressure sensitive mines waiting to be disturbed by a passer by (just like land mines). Now I understand the controversy.
