MOUNTING METHODS – Convertible for Maximum versatility
The new RT XP VHF is our most powerful, rugged, and versatile traditional telemetry transmitter. It provides maximum security when recovering your bird. Available for use in any mounting configuration (leg, tail, backpack, or neck mount), the RT XP can be ordered on your choice of channel within the 433-434 MHz band.
For large falcons and hawks, we recommend the RT XP for use as either your primary tracking transmitter, or as the ideal long life / long range secondary transmitter when used in conjunction with the Marshall GPS.
The RT XP telemetry transmitters are compatible with our rechargeable batteries.
Utilizing rechargeable batteries with your RT XP provides even greater tracking range and allows for each flight to begin with a full battery, giving maximum recovery time should the need arise. To purchase this option, click here for our charger kits. In the notes at checkout please note if the charger kit is for your RT XP so we can at best match the color of your transmitter. If you already have a charger base you can simply purchase a single rechargeable battery here. If you already have the rechargeable batteries for your GPS, the same battery may be used with your RT XP.
FULL COLOR LED
Super efficient, the RT XP utilizes the latest multicolor LED technology to give you transmitter status at a glance.
Each color indicates:
- GREEN = regular power and operation
- YELLOW = Low Battery Mode, time to change the battery
- RED = Nearly dead battery, (less than 24hrs remaining)
MAGNETIC SWITCH
With the Magnetic On/Off switch, batteries can be left inside the transmitters, until they need to be changed. To turn on, simply tap the magnet to the lid or body of the transmitter until you see three rapid LED flashes (along with 3 beeps on your UHF receiver), which tells you the transmitter is on and running. Do the same to power off the transmitter. If the magnet is lost, the transmitter can still be turned on and off manually by removing the battery.
Battery
The RT XP uses either v the venerable Duracell 1/3N Battery, or Marshall’s rechargeable batteries (same as the Turbo GPS), providing amazing performance in all conditions, including cold weather (rated to -40 C). Battery Life: 5-7 days continuous.
WHAT KIND OF RANGE CAN YOU EXPECT?
We’ve tested these transmitters with good signal line-of-sight to over 70 miles. But the important measurements are on the ground and in actual hunting terrain where there are obstructions and other conditions that adversely affect the signal. And in every situation that you’ll encounter, the RT XP UHF will provide the best range possible.
