Wireless Pet Tracking Collars Help To Locate Your Lost Cat

We all know that our pet cats are safest when kept indoors.

However, should your cat ever get outside accidentally then a tracking collar can be an excellent investment in the safety of your pet.

The challenge for pet tracking collars is finding one that is both affordable as well as small and light enough to be worn by domestic cats. Fortunately, a new product called the LoCATor Pet Tracking System has recently come on the market. This transmitter / receiver combination was created by Comm-Spec, a company that has been specializing in radio communication devices for over 30 years.

The LoCATor tracking system is made up of a small radio transmitter that is built into a cat collar and a radio receiver that can pick up the beaconing cat collar for 1 - 2 blocks in the city and over 1 mile in open country.

One of the most appealing features of the device is that it operates on a free radio frequency channel so that there are no monthly fees. Many tracking collars today -- such as those used by some dog tracking collar manufacturers -- use GPS technology which require monthly service fees.

In addition to having monthly service fees, GPS service is not available in all areas and they can have some reliability issues in buildings -- areas that your pet cat may frequent.

A miniature transmitter is attached to your pet's collar which emits a pulsed radio frequency signal. This signal is picked up by a directional antenna attached to a very sensitive handheld receiver.

As the antenna is pointed toward's the transmitter on your pet's collar, the signal becomes louder in the receiver. This allows you to "home-in" or DF (direction find) the transmitted signal and find your pet. The is the same system used by biologists to track wild animals.

This system can be used anywhere in the world as it does not rely on satellite technology (GPS) which requires a direct view to the satellites or any cellular or PCS infrastructure which must be in place and requires monthly fees.

The range is 1 - 2 blocks in the city and over 1 mile in open country. It may be used to locate your cat, dog, horse, or any other pet.

It can also be used to locate a lost child in the park, at the beach, shopping mall, or amusement park as well as a wandering Alzheimer's patient. The uses are only limited by your imagination.

Three receivers are available which allows reception of 1, 10, or 50 miniature transmitters all operating simultaneously in a single household or neighborhood without interference with each other. Each transmitter can be programmed by you to any one of 50 channels.
