Once done, the user is now a legal \u2018station\u2019 and is able to use the quiet UHF band and at much higher power levels. To legally use telemetry on this band, your transmitter must broadcast your station ID (Ham Radio Call Sign, a feature exclusive to Marshall transmitters). You simply enter your call sign or temporary station ID (phone number) into AeroVision.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not have an Amateur Radio License, you might be surprised how easy it is to obtain one. Pass a simple test, for which you can study all the answers in advance, pay ten dollars and with and 80% passing grade, you have a ten-year license, new knowledge about Radio Telemetry and the authorization to use the non-commercial bands (such as 433-434) not only for tracking but communication and emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>For those wanting to find out what\u2019s required to get a HAM License, here\u2019s a great place to start: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eham.net\/\">How to get your Amateur Radio License<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you have updated to AeroVision you can operate up to 5 transmitters at the same time.<\/p>\n<h3>Model:Turbo GPS<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Turbo-GPS<\/strong> transmitter is the same size, shape and weight of our RT transmitters, but inside we found a way to incorporate a tiny GPS receiver. The Turbo-GPS learns where it is and then sends this data via radio frequency to a transceiver we call the Pocketlink. It is the PocketLink that in turn forwards this situational data it is receiving to our App on your iPhone or iPad. At the same time, the Turbo-GPS is sending a beeping signal in the UHF band that can be received by the Field Marshall for regular direction-finding.<\/p>\n<p>When the transmitter stops hearing from the PocketLink it automatically kicks on the Turbo after 30 seconds of no contact. This allows 2-3 times the range with very little impact to battery life making it capable of sending the GPS signal great distances using situational awareness and intelligent response. When the transmitters hears from the PocketLink again it will automatically turn off the Turbo Mode.<\/p>\n<h3>After adding to the cart you can choose to <a href=\"http:\/\/marshallradio.com\/ww\/product\/transmitter-engraving\/\">add an engraving here<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<h5>**Please note for GPS transmitters the engraving will void your return policy**<\/h5>\n<p><strong>Android Users:<\/strong> in checkout please provide in the notes your system frequency and transmitter #.<\/p>\n<h5>Learn how to find your system frequency <a href=\"https:\/\/marshallradio.com\/ww\/data-frequency\/\">here<\/a>.<\/h5>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marshallradio.com\/ww\/product\/rt-turbo-transmitter-worldwide\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Turbo GPS Transmitter<\/span><span class=\"meta-nav\"> &#8250;<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- end of .read-more --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":42498,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[136,133],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13251","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-gps-system","7":"product_cat-transmitters","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marshallradio.com\/ww\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/13251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marshallradio.com\/ww\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marshallradio.com\/ww\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marshallradio.com\/ww\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marshallradio.com\/ww\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marshallradio.com\/ww\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=13251"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marshallradio.com\/ww\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=13251"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marshallradio.com\/ww\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=13251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
