Well, I just lost this little guy. I was flying him to yhe kite on sunday. He stayed the night out, and was there in the morning. I still couldn't get him down. Then I had to go to a meeting and when I returned he was gone. Nothing, no signal, and no bird. Lost him in Eden, ID transmitter is a Merlin System 216.276 Any thing would help. Thanks Stephen 208-681-5495

That's kind of a weird frequency isn't it? Aren't most transmitters in the 216.005 to 216.010? Or somewhere around there?

MN 10's can't look for mine, which is a bummer.

Yeah, I know my 5-channel Field Marshall won't work in that range either. What's brand of transmitter?

Nothing yet. It is a Merlin Systems transmitter. It is one of the new transmitters. Magnetinc on/off with a range over 30 miles with a very long battery life. I love them. Thanks everyone for looking. Stephen

Hello Jeff,
Still pretty hot. It started to cool off but it is back up there for the next few days. The day I lost him was also hot, not to mention that there where several birds in soar mode. Probably in Mexico by now, or heaven forbid Utah. LOL

falcons go to high elevation in the heat, could be in your local mountain range, up top.
