florida panther tracking collar vhf frquencies?

[dizwiz]

I'm down here on vacation and I'm wondering if anyone has any of the florida panther vhf frequencies.

Apparently some of these things have collars on them that emit vhf signals.

That would be way cool to know if one was near.

Thanks

Tie a couple rabbits around your neck and they'll find you...

Oh, wow. This could be way cooler than geocaching!

As a (former) Floridian - I agree.

I wonder if there is a way to look up and see what freq the florida wildlife commission uses..

I've found lots of good info. I anticipate it would sound like a 'space' in white noise every few seconds. It would still break squelch though.

Is there an fcc register or something where fwc has to list the freq they use? Can someone point me to that?

I don't have the specific frequencies used, but some tracking is between 215-220 MHz. Some of the newer technology uses GPS.

If you know where to look, they'll be on skates and carrying a hockey stick.
