Short range locators?
It has been a year or two since I looked into pet tags. Some of the GPS pet tags are getting down to the 28 gram range.
In the meantime I have stumbled onto a "loc8tor" key finder that is being marketed as a cat finder. Like many consumer buy me blurbs there is a lot of "wonderful" and "easy" with very little "this is how it actually works". As best I can make out the "finder" gives some directionality and you press a button to get the tag to give an audio squawk, and maybe flash an LED. Tags weigh 5 grams. Claims 100 meter range.

Buy one and tell me what it does!

Dear Tom and Members,
I've recently visited the NAFEX forum and yours was the first post I read. I have searched the web and found http://www.loc8tor.com which is the manufacturer's web site. There are also several very useful videos on You Tube which may well determine whether this item has an application for your hawking or that of others?
Kind regards

Beeper bells with remote
I have stumbled on to a few more that might be suitable for the receiver on the hawk that beeps when you push the button on your "car door opener" transmitter.
Girafus Pro-Trac-Tor
Cat Caller
Try to find any real information. Both claim the receiver/beeper in the 4 to 5 gram range (CR2032 batteries).

Dear Tom and Members,
In an idle moment I've reviewed some of the topics which have caught my eye since joining NAFEX.
Did the 'Loc8or' suit any hawking requirements? Some of the You tube videos were very convincing especially finding downed quad copters / drones in long vegetation.
It appears that this topic ran out of steam quite suddenly?
Kind regards
Alastair
