jenksi87 3 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 hi guys. i dont have or know anything about BOP's but i have been checking out this section. the use of birds along side ferrets really intrigues me. i have been reading the threads on begginners help e.t.c. i am just wondering what telemetry is and how it works e.t.c Quote Link to post
graham01 1 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Its a radio tracking system,you put a small radio transmitter on your bird,attached to the tail,back or leg usually and when flown can be tracked with a receiver and ariel (yagi).When you sweep around with the yagi,the reciever will pick up the pulsing sound of the transmitter as sort of beep-beep-beep and will be strongest when pointed in the direction of the tranny,you just follow the signal and get your bird back this is a basic description Quote Link to post

graham01 1 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Although some have worked certain terriers with hawks,it can be dangerous and there have been fatalities,so its not a thing i would do.There are a few Falconry clubs around that area http://www.yorkshirefalconry.org.uk/ http://www.northernenglandfalconryclub.co.uk/ Quote Link to post
