The new RT XP VHF is our most powerful, rugged, and versatile traditional telemetry transmitter. It provides maximum security when recovering your bird. Available for use in any mounting configuration (leg, tail, backpack, or neck mount), the RT XP can be ordered on your choice of channel within the 216-218 and 433-434 MHz band.
For large falcons and hawks, we recommend the RT XP for use as either your primary tracking transmitter, or as the ideal long life / long range secondary transmitter when used in conjunction with the Marshall GPS.
MOUNTING METHODS – Maximum versatility
Using the included tail spring, the RT XP can be attached to the deck using the appropriately sized tail piece or mounted on the TrackPack.
You may also specify either leg mount (bewitt style lid, also suitable for neck mounting); or the Marshall EZ twist system for hassle free, one-handed leg mounting on your raptor.
COLOR LED
Super efficient, the RT XP utilizes the latest multicolor LED technology to give you transmitter status at a glance.
Each color indicates:
- GREEN = regular power and operation
- YELLOW = Low Battery Mode, time to change the battery
- RED = Nearly dead battery, (less than 24hrs remaining)
MAGNETIC SWITCH
With the Magnetic On/Off switch, batteries can be left inside the transmitters, until they need to be changed. To turn on, simply tap the magnet to the lid or body of the transmitter until you see three rapid LED flashes (along with 3 beeps on your UHF receiver), which tells you the transmitter is on and running. Do the same to power off the transmitter. If the magnet is lost, the transmitter can still be turned on and off manually by removing the battery.
WHAT KIND OF RANGE CAN YOU EXPECT?
We’ve tested these transmitters with good signal line-of-sight to over 100 miles. But the important measurements are on the ground and in actual hunting terrain where there are obstructions and other conditions that adversely affect the signal. And in every situation that you’ll encounter, the RT XP will provide the absolute best range of any traditional transmitter available.
