Tracking device

one method is you can have omnidirectional transmitter on the object u wanna track...
and for tracking.. purpose you can use a loop antenna.. or any other directional antenna on a rotation platform... which will lock on max signal..
 

Re: Tracking device

Hello Panterex,

I am happy that you found what you wanted.
When I assembled my system to locate airmodels, I also expended a lot hours on research until find exactly what I needed, there are a lot of good ideas to analyse. :D

Rgds,
Marinho

they are used in short range
 

Re: Tracking device

hi sankalani2003
Would u give me a direct link to wikihow.com? cos i couldn't find any information about tracking devices or anuthing about omnidirectional transmitter either
thnx

I'm just after thinkin' ....
all this sh*t is quite bulky....
probably everyone wonderin' whatta hell his's goin' to track? well, I'll tell u the secret :D : cats :idea::D
yeah, I've 3 cats, one of them is exwild :D and my cats hangin' with other stray cats. I feed 'em as well, but they just keep going missing for a few days, sometimes, together with my cats... so I just wonder were they go, what they do...
So I'm affraid if I use those big & bulky hand made ones it'll make cats feel uncomfortable to run, jump or whatever...
Maybe, there is a reason just to buy one? huh?
