2 Meter VHF, Arduino controlled, small, portable and self powered 2 meter fox hunt transmitter. Up to 1.5 Watt of RF power output. No additional radio required! Set your parameters like beacon/message, call sign, transmit time and pause time from your phone, tablet or any Computer via USB to TTL Serial *. Transmit frequency change requires additional hardware but possible to change on the go with additional tools (screw driver, USB to TTL adapter, OTG cable)
FoxUnio comes in a Spruce Tree Green, Snow White or Night Black colored 3D printed Enclosure. The green color will make it great for hiding the transmitter in grass, trees or any imaginable place you can think of. New added white color will make it great for the this winter season!
Enclosure has two holes to install a string and hang it anywhere. Also, a 1/4-20 UNC thread on the bottom of the enclosure is included to mount it on a tripod or any standard 1/4-20 screw. (see second picture)
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) measures 86.6mm x 44.5mm.
Available as kit (assembly required) or fully assembled and ready to go.
Kit assembly takes about 30 minutes. All you need is a soldering iron, some solder and flux, side cutters and a small screw driver.
