The TRX-48S radio telemetry receiver represents an affordable tracking solution for monitoring up to 48 animals at a time on 3 bands of 16 channels. It is lightweight, at 454 grams (1.13kg including antenna), but has full functionality, with an attenuator switch to minimise swamping of the signal at close quarters, noise blanking circuit and an LED scale to display signal strength. This receiver is supplied permanently mounted on a 3-element Yagi antenna with pistol grip, to provide a handy all-in-one receiving unit. The TRX-48S is powered by 8 x AAA batteries (included), providing 13 – 15 hours of tracking time, and is supplied with a long padded carry case.
