neil r 1,796 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I only saw the lad for 5 minutes last night but i think it was thursday . The transmitter was working on the day , they were tracking it when it suddenly stopped transmitting . The system he uses is a marshall one so it wont have gone out of range in the time they were tracking it . Quote Link to post
kirk224 10 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 did he have a signal and then just went because when i used marshall years ago i lost a falcon that way and when i looked into they some one told if the bird had landed near to a telegraph pole it would trun it of dont know if thats true or not its just what i got told Quote Link to post

Thats no good if they switch off like that . Quote Link to post
CityHunter.uK 12 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Had a couple of birds where I was tracking them and then the signal stopped I suspect some theiving toad brought the bird down and removed my transmitter they were banging on 4 then nothing. Hope its not the case for you and you get your bird back Quote Link to post
