[TexasARDF] 2 meter fox equipment

[Matthew Robbins]

Bill,

    Has someone gotten back to you about your question?

    I recommend signing up for this ARDF list:

        http://www.kkn.net/mailman/listinfo/ardf

    It has a lot more subscribers and I'm guessing you'll get better
answers.

    Another good website is Joe Moell's: http://www.homingin.com/boxes.html

    Here in Cincinnati we bought a board from G3ZOI and used PVC sewer pipe
as cases:

    The big requirement in the US is that the transmitters ID legally.  The
legal requirement is every 10 minutes, but each transmitter uses a 5 minute
cycle, and IDs each time it is on, or every five minutes.  If you're
listening to the frequency, though, there are IDs every minute---each time a
transmitter finishes its minute, it IDs.  Here in Cincinnati, we use a club
call sign for convenience.

   Good Luck!
