Very few people used PIP. MGA sets had a PIP module that always failed.
You could change all the surface mount caps on it or remove it & add 2 caps.
Given a choice NOBODY ever wanted the PIP.
Baby monitors were one useful thing. Zenith made security kits you could
use with PIP or a monitor. I never sold one but they were there.
Radio monitors go back to at least the 30's & I think Zenith called them
radio nurses. Trouble is most people put the babies crib in there bedroom.
In the 70's baby monitor listening became a very popular hobby. I think
you could imagine the content

enuf fer now

One example, loosely translated: "Rubber Duck, this is Pig Pen. Mercy sakes, I'm haulin' a loaded nappy here. Got your respirator on? This mess could close up your sinuses in nothin' flat.

I just realized what the quote is actually implying. Nevertheless, I'll stick with what I already have.
