I think these are from the Lionel RailScope train.  According to the ad,
they need a 'direcct wired' connection from the transmitter to the receiver.
(The railscope used the track for this)  Any idea how many wires are needed?
Probably one, sending RF down this 'antenna'.  Also, Is it possible to get
video, rather than RF from the receiver?  Wouldn't a 9 volt battery die
rather fast at 350 mA?
