When you have lightweight GPS loggers that need to be retrieved for downloading, you need to know where they are. A GPS logger with a built-in radio beacon is the perfect combination and will help you track them down with the use of a receiver and Yagi antenna.
Built with a highly sophisticated and flexible scheduler, you can choose the days and times that GPS locations are recorded – providing you valuable data suiting your study needs. The VHF beacon can be scheduled separately, for example after you have collected the GPS locations, or for a set time each day, to optimize battery life.
Great for:
VHF Beacon:
to track down the tag for data retrieval
Small Size:
Starting at just 3.2 g, these tags can be used on a large number of small animals.
User-friendly Scheduler:
Scheduling tags is both easy and has great flexibility to get the locations, and fire the beacon, exactly when you want
Convenient Data Processing:
Download the data using our DLC interface and PinPoint Host software, then convert to spreadsheets or GoogleEarth files with a few clicks of a mouse.
Most useful where GPS data is required from an animal that is easily re-trapped, or when the tag becomes detached from an animal.

1. Tags can be further customised for attachment method, antenna strength and potting level. Note that these options will affect weight and dimensions. Please get in touch with one of our Avian Telemetry Specialists to discuss your project requirements.
Other battery sizes available, please contact one of our Telemetry Specialists to find out more.
A PinPoint DLC is required for scheduling, and downloading locations after being recovered.
A manual tracking receiver, such as a Biotracker, and a yagi antenna with appropriate frequency band is required to find the tag using the beacon.
