[FedCom] Re: Advanced Tracking Technique

[News1]

Boy, there's some salesman talk!! The one I've actually played with that
really worked great had to be hard-wired in the vehicle.  It was meant to be
mounted at the top of the dash just under the plastic so GPS wasn't an
issue. I can't remember the brand but it was a throw-away unless you busted
the guy and got the car. The ones I've actually monitored in the Dallas area
on DEA suspects are on Teletrac and it's not just GPS based.

 >>Just how does a GPS work without a clear view of the sky?

The Tracker antenna has no problems
receiving through plastic, metal, or glass.
The GPS antenna is hidden, but done
so in a fashion that it allows a clear view
of the sky.

Additionally, if cell signal is lost for some
reason, once the unit gets back into range,
it can automatically call the agencys office,
to let them know it's available for tracking
again. Also, the transmitter is much more
powerful than a general cell phone wattage
output (allowing for more increased range),
but I'll leave it at that.
