GPS locator

[z_man_95]

What are you using for gps tracking/locating incase of a flyaway?

A few users have posted before about using cheap GPS dog trackers that use cell phone sim cards. I have not heard the results of these tests but would be interested in hearing their results.

All my flyaways have always been into the ground or a tree line and thankfully has only happened twice.

I have been searching for a locator device and have not found one yet

HPR - High Power Rocketry and many others have been using the following items with great success for several years now.....very reliable and very long range.

Thanks Peter, I discovered the rocketeers and falconry use of radio tracking shortly after I posted the above. Seems like they are way ahead of us for tracking. Found a supplier of radio trackers- ComSpec out of southern Cali.
