Hello Kevin,<br><br>Search for something called "Project Lifesaver." It is not an amateur radio thing rather a law enforcement/sar project and uses small RF transmitters on kids with Autism or elders with Dementia.<br>
<br>Our SAR team has supported this project in our area for about 3-4 years and it does help but the transmitters need to be maintained and checked on a frequent basis to make sure they are charged and beaconing. The RDF range is roughly 1-2 miles.<br>
<br>Hope this helps...<br><br>Greg<br><br>-- <br>NV6G<br>OpenAPRS.Net<br>OpenAPRS iPhone Edition<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 17, 2010 at 1:11 PM, Kevin Deckert <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kdeckert@telus.net">kdeckert@telus.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>
