So now the question is what else I do I need? I was planning on buying 2 UHF Micro's in 434 and tail mounting them on 2 birds. If I bought another RT GPS transmitter in exactly the same frequency as the one that comes with the RT GPS Package, will I be able to turn off the back pack mounted RT transmitter on one bird and then turn on the back pack mounted RT transmitter on the other bird and my GPS system will be ready to roll again. Or should I be doing it another way?
I'd get an omni and the all in one desert carrying case in addition to A LOT of batteries...

RT-GPS transmitters are programmable for frequency. You can set them to whatever you want. In theory you should be able to use 1 pocketlink for 2 TX's, but not sure. I've been after them to run two at once since last year since I have a cast of birds, but am not sure how it all relates to multiple transmitters. They do it in the gulf, but they also run different software/firmware there. You should be able to run two TX's to one pocketlink one at a time...but I haven't done it.

I know the 2 tail mounts can be the same but I plan on getting them in separate 434 frequencies so if need be, I can have them both on at the same time (weathering, etc.).

And last question, if I have my GPS system and say it is 434.005 and 433 whatever and I am at the NAFA meet and someone else has the same frequencies on their GPS system, will we be in trouble?
See above about programming frequences. This also goes for the transmission frequency that the GPS data packets are sent ot the pocketlink on. It's possible for things to overlap at the meet, but easy to change to something else.
