Accessories
for 2008
If one of your resolutions is to better organize
your telemetry equipment before the 2008 season gets underway,
this page will give you some great ideas. If you've been
wanting to finally build a more complete telemetry system
with quality
accessories, you'll find them here. And if you've been
considering a new mounting method and need tail-mounts or
tools, or the
new TrackPack Harness, you'll also find them here.
You can protect your receiver with our Desert
Hardcase or take it with you in to the field using our Cordura
Holster. Add an OMNI roof mount antenna for the extended
chase or the Homing Beacon vehicle locator to safely
find your way back to the truck at night or in a snowstorm
after a search for a hawk. From batteries at wholesale
prices to replacement antennas to premium headphones and
tail-piece tools, you'll find everything you need to update
and make
your telemetry system complete.
The accessories below
are arranged into three main groups:
1-
items to complete your current system
2-
items for your vehicle
3- misc
maintenance items, such as batteries and replacement parts.
When you've found what you want, click on the "add
to cart" link below the price shown for each item.
The accessory will be added to your On Line Order.

Adapted from
a design used to protect expensive firearms, our Cordura
softcase lets you keep the receiver and transmitters protected
and all together in one convenient place.
Custom foam insert
matches
the profile of the receiver. Additional cut outs and internal
pockets to keep all the small things where you can find them:
extra batteries, antennas, battery tester, car adaptor, etc.
Designed to ride with you inside the vehicle.

This case takes protection to another
level. Airtight, waterproof and pretty much bombproof, you can
let this thing tumble around the back of a hawking rig all season
long, equipment safely inside, and spray it off at the carwash
to look brand new again.
With custom foam inserts, this Hardcase
lets you protect and keep
the receiver
and
transmitters all together
in one convenient, safe place.
Field Marshall version shown here allows
room for headphones (always a good idea) with accessories.
Model for new FM1000 has space for ear buds instead of full
size headphones.
For 216 Mhz and 233 MHz
EUR €185.00

These are the new generation, ultra-lightweight,
solder-free, tail-mount pieces that are now used by so many falconers
world-wide. Machined in-house here at Marshall Radio from a special
aircraft aluminum alloy, then anodized for color and protection,
they are 1/3 the weight of the soldered brass predecessor.
If you're planning to use a Tail Mount
this season, these tiny, lightweight machined parts are the
answer for exactness
and quality. And, using
the Genuine Marshall Installation
tool
(shown below), the installation is quick and easy.
There are five sizes to fit most all
birds:
Small: Sharpshin, Merlin with Micro Transmitters
Medium: Gyrkin, Peregrine, Harris', Male Goshawks
Micro/medium: Medium
sized birds where a Micro is to be used. So, medium on the
bottom, with Micro size on the top.
Large: Female
Gos, Female Gyrfalcon
Xxtra Large: Eagles

This is the 'ready-to-go kit'
for the BackPack mounting method you've been hearing about
this
season. Starting with a gently curved Mounting Plate machined
from UV-protected Delrin plastic, we add 36 inches of small
width Teflon tubular ribbon and a small brass crimping ring
produced just for this purpose that's internally threaded for
maximum bite into the ribbon when making the final setting.
Simply use either
flat needle-nose pliers or your existing MRT Tail-piece
crimping tool to set the ring in place once the harness is
correctly
fitted.
There are now three sizes: Regular size
accomodates all transmitters, the Micro size
for very small birds that fits only the Micro transmitter,
and
the new XL (Eagle) size with 18 more inches
of ribbon.
Also available is the Re-Installation
Kit,
containing 36 inches of Teflon ribbon and the threaded crimping
ring.
Choose one of these items from the drop-down list after
clicking on the 'add to cart' button below.
Also be sure to read through the Installation
instructions here
on-line and/or have someone who has already installed
a harness there to help if it's your first time.

Machined in-house to exacting tolerances,
the tail-piece tool makes the process of mounting up your bird
quick and easy. Designed to match exactly the elliptical shape
of the quill when closed, the final result when crimping is
a snug fit. It's also self-centering in the upright position
on the feather.
With
the internal grooves machined on the inside of the crimped end,
they are used by many without glue or epoxy. Clean yet permanent.

This accessory should be part of every
telemetry set. The internal speaker on a receiver is fine for
tuning in a signal before flight, but when it comes to tracking
a weak signal in wind, next to the highway or in a car, headphones
make all the difference.
Inexpensive cupping headphones from
any audio outlet are a good start. But for those demanding
the very best,
this is the ultra premium, full metal cupping design for loud,
noisy environments (rock concerts). So it offers 30+ db of
audio
attenuation.

The number of reasons to be lost when chasing your bird or dog away
from the car or truck are numerous: darkness, snowstorms, or fog.

clipped to your visor and hooked up to the OMNI on the roof,
you'll
quickly find your way back to the vehicle
Magnetic on/off switch, blinking LED,
low battery indicator, puts out a triple pulse not to be confused
with any other transmitters. Uses common AA batteries.

Falconers have used OMNI's for many
years to determine proximity from inside a moving car as they
cover an area tracking their birds. This model is a higher quality
(slightly more gain) version of the well known design. Comes with
10 foot coax cable.

A straight antenna is important to
the process of producing a strong signal. If your antennas are
kinked,
curled and have been straightened out for the last time, you
might consider getting a new one to maintain peak performance.
Field replaceable antennas screw directly
on to the transmitter antenna stud.
RT+ and PowerMax use a 2-56 threaded
6061 aluminum ferrule with 90 lb test nylon coated stainless
steel
cable. The Micro uses a 0-80 thread aluminum ferrule,
and comes in two gauges (comes with light, but can use regular
for larger birds).

Although designed to last forever,
from time to time you may find you need a replacement lid for
your
transmitter.
The replacement lid for the BP can also be laser engraved with
REWARD or a phone number for an extra $10.
RT: EUR €18.00
PM: EUR €16.00

Posts on the underside of the transmitter
case allow you to easily change a damaged tail spring wire if
needed. One replacement spring design fits the BP
and PowerMax. Replacement springs for the RT+ require a tiny
washer.
Springs for the Micro are much lighter gauge. Simply specify
which one when you order.
Copies of our design (shown to the
left) have been sold in the market recently, but genuine Marshall
springs are made
from
heat
treated stainless steel
to exact
measurements
that
fit
the tail-pieces
precisely.
