Looking for a good deal on a transmitter for a RT with a tail clip. I have a MN-10 so anything in the 216 range should be OK.

Thanks for the link but I already knew how to find the new ones. That Marshall certainly looks like a nice one. Is it a magnetic on/off?

I thought that there might be somebody wanting to sell a used one that's still in good working condition.

Yes

Can't beat $125 for a new transmitter with a warranty.

Thanks Krys and I agree. However after being layed off for going on 8 months now, I've got to watch every penny spent.

a F&L mn-10 only has 10 channels and should only pick up 100 different Freq numbers.........like 216.000 to 216.099..... you might want to double check you receiver to see what it will pick up so you don't buy a transmitter with the wrong freq....

I'm loyal to LL Electronics www.radiotracking.com He helped me find my wayward prairie falcon 25 years ago. I was flying my new just hard penned eyass in Maryland. The bird flew off and I tried to find him for days. A month later, the bird was found 500 miles away in Burlington, Vermont. He was traced to me by the LL Electronics contact information and serial number on the transmitter. I was very happy to be re-united with my 'Terance'.

I have a LF-1 that I need to send in for a new antenna. I'll probably buy a LF-2 with spare antennas at that time and save the LF-1 as a spare. They seem like really nice people to deal with and turn around time is very quick.

I have the Merlin Systems 1/3N FMV transmitter on sale right now for $120.00. That is with a tail clip and shipping in the US. These are great transmitters with great range. I sell alot of them to people that are hacking birds because of there long running battery life, strength and light weight. Let me know if I can help. Thanks Stephen

Been using Louie's stuff since '83. thumbsupp They've always been super good to me. Heard he's got a new model out. Guess I'll have to make a road trip here in Aug. and go see.
