I forgot to mention, you can buy just the transmitter and construct your
own receiver. The transmitter is FCC certified and I was able to look up
the specs on the www.fcc.goc website under OET equipment certification.

Every year, Shelly the tortoise gets lost or manages to escape the
garden.
It can take days to find her. I would like to build a locating
device so
that I can track her down.
The basic requirements a

a) that the 'transmitter (transponder?) on the tortoise is as small as
possible.

b) that it can be made by an electronics numpty. I have basic
soldering
skills, and can eventually work out a circuit diagram.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
