I am considering hiding a tracker in my car. It will be powered at all
times. I have heard the names of the many different designs, but am not
familiar enough with their features to know which one (or two) might fill my
needs. Is there a chart that shows a comparison of the trackers? Or maybe
those familiar with each of the units can comment on how well it matches my
desired features.
Desired Features:
Smart Beaconing
Ignition switch input for time change
GPS input (seperate, dedicated)
Laptop I/O connector (seperate, dedicated)
Radio connector (want to change from VHF to UHF)
In my area, we use UHF for public service events, hence the need for UHF.
Normally I will be running VHF. The tracker and radios will probably be
placed under a seat. The GPS will be placed under the dash.
The laptop connector will be placed somewhere on or under the dash. When
I need to display APRS in the car or make configuration changes, I will
simply plug in the laptop. When the laptop is not connected, a plug could
be installed that would select between the UHF or VHF radio.
Any suggestions on selection of the tracker?
