2.8 guy 403 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I just did a quick google search look up loc8tor pet gps, its not the one i was on about but maybe you could find it from there Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I seem to remember this from before, something about the ferret idea, but it not working under ground. What is the handset like, is it just direction and distance, or a visual thing? I have a feeling their units were very short range, and wouldnt work unless there was a line of sight, which makes it not much use for finding a dog in a forest. Quote Link to post

No messin 2 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Could the radio tracking used by the bird of prey fellas not be used?? just an idea, no experience of either. Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 When my Pat x border was a pup it was a twat for running off in long wheat in search of hare's and would be missing for upto half a hour..so i taped one of my falconry transmitter's too his coller so i could monitor his movment..it's much more relaxing knowing where they are when they are out of sight..

milliken 791 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 its not in any great detail very basic but does the job im near sure you can buy up grades for it but to tell you the truth you dont look at the map that offten your more dependent on the compass system as thats the one that tells you the direction and distance to head in robert Quote Link to post
