The 0.7g micro VHF transmitter model has a battery life of 43 days and often used on larger wader and gamebird chicks. The transmitter is usually glued on the back of the chick. All micro models are encapsulated with a very tough waterproof epoxy resin and come with a magnet-activated reed switch.
Our transmitters have been designed and tested by wildlife biologists with extensive experience of radio-tracking various species around the world.
