14.6.1 Tracking system
What
A tracking system generally consists of a transmitter and a receiver. By inserting the trans
-
mitter in the body of the X100, you are able to track down and find the X100 when lost.
The transmitter sends its location to the receiver over radio waves. No satellites are used
during this communication. Once the receiver has picked up this signal, you can determine
your course based on the direction and intensity of the received signal.
Tinyloc tracking system
Gatewing uses the Tinyloc tracking system, which consists of the F22 transmitter and the R1
receiver.
