Who is the company in IL who makes transmitters that will work?That blows goats.
Not sure walston is still in business now.Rich who is Walston? Our club has several sets that we rent out. And of course one gets lost now and then.
Actually Walston has been out of business for years. Walston never actually made anything. They just relabeled and resold what was made by Wildlife Materials Inc.I have a receiver, just no transmitters at this time, I was told that Walston can make the transmitters if you know the Freq.
Why are they better for more money?
they also do not have my freq

Always nice to have an RDF backup with GPS though.Then again, I might move the GPS.
Yes! The nice thing about the ham radio options is that you can always DF even if the packets don't decommutate.Always nice to have an RDF backup with GPS though.
Unless the unit just stops transmitting mid-flight, which I have had happen. Of course this can happen with simple RDF trackers as well (seen that happen too), which is why I like redundancy.Yes!

Were these the old ones with the Trimble GPS? The newer ones use Ublox and should be better.I had several Big Red Bee GPS units. They were terrible about quitting transmit in flight...
Interesting, I'm about 10 miles from this company and didn't know it. I will check into it as well.
I need to send them an email as well....Interesting, I'm about 10 miles from this company and didn't know it. I will check into it as well.
Yes, I had the old ones, 2006ish? to 2009. They were terrible in many ways. Greg Clark refused to understand or acknowledge, even when I showed him directly (Black Rock launch, he watched, had an APRS receiver)!Were these the old ones with the Trimble GPS?

Big Red Bee is still in business and still making their 450 MHz RDF product.
