A few years ago, I looked into doing this, for the radio you may want to take a look at<br><a href="https://www.argentdata.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=81&osCsid=b93a6a254608135431caf0db1c9027dd">https://www.argentdata.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=81&osCsid=b93a6a254608135431caf0db1c9027dd</a><br>
<br>Be warned you should have a HAM with there advanced license to use one of those, but to be honest, HAMs are self policing, so as long as you have a HAM, you should be fine.<br><br>Alex<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hey everyone,<br>
<br>
I haven't had the chance to get involved with vanhackspace yet, as I'm
still somewhat new to Vancouver and settling in. But I have been lurking
for a while..<br>
Although I won't be able to make a Tuesday meeting, I'd be interested in
helping out with this project...<br>
<br>
By way of experience I'm a youngish Electrical Engineer, and I've
specialized in RF design in my short career.. Plus I'm a HAM geek. :)<br>
<br>
Cheers;<br><font color="#888888">

Here's the same story, different article. The first article doesn't mention that he uses his GPS to get close to the unit, then he uses radio telemetry to find it.
