[FedCom] Re: Advanced Tracking Techniques

[Blaine Brooks]

Found out that the device the feds use is called
Tracker and is made by a company called Orion.
The software uses cell modems to transmit and
receive data. The tracking transmitter calls into
and plots the location of a suspect vehicle by
using a secondary program such as DeLorme
Street Guide. The transmitter is attached to the
suspects vehicle, and can use GPS and cellular
technology. The agency involved can remotely
program the transmitter to call the district or
field office whenever the suspects vehicle is
on the move. It's live up-to-the-second data that
is extremely accurate, and can be used for
great distances and multi-jurisdictional ops
(not just local).

For those that had had the opportunity to listen
to the feds use this over the air, it's definitely a
fun listen!
