How to use GPS Telemetry | Marshall GPS System

Publicado 2022-09-27
Can GPS stand up to Radio Telemetry?
In this video I am going to show you how to use the Marshall GPS system to track your hawk. Then, in a timed head to head battle we test to see how long it takes to track down a standard Radio Receiver and the GPS system.
This video will show you how to track a bird of prey using the Marshall GPS system, and the Marshal Radio Telemetry.
In Falconry, it is really important to know how to track a lost bird, so we wanted to find the best system to do so, GPS vs Radio Telemetry.

    Top video great example of each system and how they can be used. Really taking the videos to next level and putting falconry back on the map
  • @czserad
    Was just about to research telemetry and then saw this video 🤣. Thanks!
  • @chrisj2268
    very useful video Dan, you should have clipped the gps tag onto the jogger for live tracking :), thanks again. using 173 here, flying mhh.

    I use the Microsensory GPS its a total game changer compared to the Marshall. The tags have solar panels and the battery life in the tags is unbelievable. I have gone out with the battery on 65% and when I get back from hawking its 100%, due to the built in solar panels.

    Nice video! Good work using the radio telemetry Jake. My condolences you guys have to deal with nettles.

    Very well presented, I am looking at gps for my rehab work as a means of evaluating fitness and to build a database on various Aussie species (currently a bit lacking although Mike Calvin in WA has done some great work) the way I look at it with gps system you have the best of both worlds oh and dont forget to pop on some bells !
  • Yet another great video! Thank you for the great content. I just started researching telemetrie systems so this video comes at the right time. Can you do a follow up video on how the signal quality is influenced by the position transporter? First the position of the transmitter on the bird itself. Marshall says that the position of the item on the bird (foot, backpack, etc) can have a influence on the strength of the signal. Second the position of the bird carrying the transmitter. The website says that the landscape and the position of the bird (being close the ground or even under ground or up in a tree, etc. ) can influence the signal as well. At the moment these are only theoretical informations for me. It would be really helpful to see a "fieldtest" on this subject. Thank you very much and all the best to your team. (please excuse my English writing, I'm not a native English speaker)
  • Hi Dan, brilliant video as always sorry this is comment is late! I've been away I'm always blown away by how knowledgeable you are with the subjects you cover in your videos and on your channel in general keep up the amazing content 🦉by the way who was asking the questions at the start of the q&a video? 🙂
  • @myfalconry76
    The Marshall gps has both systems rolled into one so if you loose gps signal you have the traditional beep as well. And the gps still broadcast with radio signal so technically they are one and the same.

    Hi Dan, I have always used 216. MHz and it's never let me down. I personally think that the GPS is good for information on height,speed etc. But very expensive. Plus battery life is nowhere near as good as radio telemetry. I also think that GPS takes away field craft skills and people become lazy. Just my thoughts on the subject. Very good video all the same 😉

    Sterling RM-12 on 173 for the past six years, Leg mounted on my Lanner and Peregrine, I change the 393 batteries every month and it has never missed a beat, considered the Marshal GPS, lots of bells and whistles but I return to the same conclusion.....if it isn't broke don't try and fix it

    You could have put the telemetry signal on Freya and Jarad with the receiver turned down to track their progress. And just reverse, you could have put the GPS receiver on Jake and track his progress to you in the bush. :0) I do hope Freya didn't mess up those cute boots going through the brush.
  • Could you put it on sleep as you fly the bird and then back on to hd mode if the bird flies away? surely this would save a load of battery life.
