We are sorry to report that Pocket Tracker hardware is no longer available.
It was discontinued because some of its parts were obsoleted and replacements have not been found.
This page remains for reference. The Pocket Fox chip is still available for use in TinyTrak3 PCBs.
Byonics is happy to announce the Pocket Fox, a small, inexpensive radio transmitter designed for hidden transmitter hunting.
It produces tone sequences and Morse code messages at user-programmed times. It is programmable via a simple computer program,
utilizes EEPROM for all programmed options so they are remembered when power is removed, and is quite compact.
Pocket Fox is available as a complete kit, or as a upgrade chip that can be used to add hidden transmitter functionality
to any existing
Pocket Tracker or
TinyTrak controller (TinyTrak, TinyTrakII, and TinyTrak3)
The Pocket Fox, when used with the Pocket Tracker hardware, provides all the following benefits
- Included 2-meter transmitter
- No complicated radio cabling
- PIC controlled, PLL-Stabilized, Transmitter
- Simple kit (All SMT parts are pre-assembled)
- Simple RF alignment (one variable inductor)
Pocket Fox Kits are available pre-programed with two custom frequencies. Please specify these frequencies when ordering.
For information on these frequencies, please contact
A Frequency Agile Pocket Fox is also available. By using the Pocket Tracker FA Hardware instead of the normal Pocket Tracker hardware,
the transmit frequency can be adjusted by the user. With the normal Pocket Tracker hardware (non-FA version) there are two factory set transmit frequencies to choose from.
