[FoxHunt] 2m transmitters required.

[Jon Sletvold SICI]

Hello.

I think the only "out of the box" ARDF transmitter available are from ok2bw.
There are kits available, but they need to be assembled. Perhaps others on
this list can add some information. The products are available from:
http://www.marecek.sky.cz/

The Norwegian ARDF association is also looking for transmitters, and I've
done some research using a microcontroller (PIC or ATMEL), a stable TCXO
(1ppm) and a DDS to design a 80m ARDF transmitter. The goal is to make light
weight transmitters that are fully configurable from a computer (not online
in the forest though!) and can be deployed in the field for a week and start
and stop at the desired time. This will allow us to have training course
that can be operating for several days, but also allow smaller batteries to
be used as the transmitters are only operating during the competition time.

What I need is more people to join in with this project in order to share
working load and reduce the "time to market". It's also a good idea to get
people with different experience or occupation as HW designers, SW
designers, mechanical engineers. I'm my self a HW engineer with a little SW
and VHDL experience. Are there any one else who might be interested and
would join this project?

Regards Jon / la9gna
