radio with tracking device
 
Hello

I was wondering if any of you guys know of a radio with a tracking device. I lost one of my radios in the field and would of loved a way to find it.

Thanks

I've never heard of such a thing.

Garmin rhino's have that feature but it only works with those type of radios.
GMRS/FRS with integrated GPS.

+1 dummy cording (or a better radio pouch).

Locating a radio's position is possible (radio direction finding + triangulation) but it would only work if the unit was broadcasting.

I will look in to that solution.

Thanks

The radio you're trying to find has to be broadcasting.

Or receiving; just broadcast while someone walks around the field listening for your voice! :D

It just need to broadcast it's location.
Does not need to be GPS exact but tell me how many feet or meters from the radio. Just like a transponder.

As said before the Garmin Rhino would do what you want in a radio-like unit. The team mates have to purposely broadcast their position on it to you.

The Foretrex is a wrist wearable GPS (WITHOUT radio) that can display a map (even google maps) with the location of other team mates wearing it. You don't need to specifically broadcast your position with it.

(the link to the 401 model is just one example as it is the highest price and highest featured Foretrex.)

Interesting idea, but it does not help if I loose my radio.
The Rino solution seems to be the best for now.

Thanks a lot
