The only problem with loop systems used with external receivers, is that the
installers of loops think that they are the system of choice because they don't
need any receivers to distribute or collect and, therefore, don't supply any
or they don't even know such a thing exists.

In fact, I didn't even know there were external receivers for loop systems
and I think I'm fairly well informed about ALSs.  How about some addresses or
manufacturer data.
