We describe the steps involved in performing searches for sources of transient radio emission such as Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs), and present 10 new transient radio sources discovered in a re-analysis of the Parkes Multi-beam Pulsar Survey. Followup observations of each new source as well as one previously known source are also presented. The new sources suggest that the population of transient radio-emitting neutron stars, and hence the neutron star population in general, may be even larger than initially predicted. We highlight the importance of radio frequency interference excision for single-pulse searches. Also, we discuss some interesting properties of individual sources and consider the difficulties involved in precisely defining a RRAT and determining where they fit in with the other known classes of neutron stars.

- The glitch-induced identity changes of PSR J1119−6127 (2010, background): “There are about forty reported RRATs in the literature (McLaughlin et al. 2006; Hessels et al. 2008; Deneva et al. 2009; Keane et al. 2010; Burke-Spolaor & Bailes 2010).”
- Science with the Murchison Widefield Array (2012, background): “Initial estimates suggest that there could be as many RRATs as traditional pulsars (McLaughlin et al. 2006; Keane et al. 2010), but their properties do not appear the same, as they occupy different parts of the P − Ṗ diagram (see Figure 9).”
- THE REPEATING FAST RADIO BURST FRB 121102: MULTI-WAVELENGTH OBSERVATIONS AND ADDITIONAL BURSTS (2016, background): “Some Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs), a class of Galactic radio pulsar that emit infrequent, bright millisecond duration radio pulses, also show episodic behavior in their pulses (Keane et al. 2010).”
- Fast radio bursts: search sensitivities and completeness (2014, unknown): “In effect there is a low-redshift blindness to FRBs, analogous to the low-DM blindness in Galactic SP searches (Keane et al. 2010).”
