Micro-Trak 8000 FA 
VHS Products has created the Micro-Trak 8000 FA, a frequency agile 2-meter FM transmitter combined with a
TinyTrak 3 controller chip, and an 10W power amplifier that provides an easy and inexpensive way to build a small APRS tracker.
Just plug in a GPS receiver, such as the Byonics GPS2, and track!
The Micro-Trak 8000 FA can transmit from 144 MHz to 148 MHz, and power output is easily adjustable from a few milliwatts to 12 watts. The PCB measures 1 inch X 4.5 inches.
In order to connect to a standard automobile power system (between 12.8V and 14.4V DC), consider the Micro-Volt 12 Additional Micro-Trak Products: Micro-Trak 300 - The original 300mW Micro-Trak, without the amplifier. Micro-Trak 8000 - An 8 watt version of the Micro-Trak 300. Micro-Trak 200 FA - A frequency agile version of the Micro-Trak 300. Micro-Trak VHF Antenna - An antenna for the Micro-Trak products.
