Advice on antenna length

These aren't terribly field-friendly, of course. Hi Dave. I think this isn't a DF application. The Garmin comes with a dog's collar that has a GPS receiver and a MURS transmitter. The collar receives the GPS signals and transmits the dog's position (okay - technically it is actually transmitting the position of the collar) using the MURS frequencies. The GPS receives those MURS signals from the collar and displays the position on its screen. Can't see from the Quick Start Manual what is actually being transmitted by the collar - the GPS data as received or the actual lat/long position. It's not THAT clever - the collar doesn't include a long arm poop-scoop. 73 Ian. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
