Designed with the shortwing / broadwing falconer in mind the TX-9 is the latest addition to the Sterling range of falconry transmitters. Including all the high end features of the TX-12 and 20, condensed into a micro sized case. Beautifully engineered from aerospace aluminium with screw cap and short replaceable screw on antenna. Distinctive blue anodising with laser engraved channel number and coding for easy recognition. Supplied with removable tail mount clip as standard. Slotted screw caps for leg / neck mount applications are available if required. Available off the shelf in a variety of standard frequencies to match our receivers, other frequencies are available as special order, please enquire for details, additional charges may apply.
Magnetic Switch: How it works -
Touch the magnetic wand against the Sterling logo, three short pulses will be heard, this indicates that the transmitter is ready to start its normal pulse routine but only after the magnet is moved away. To stop, touch and hold the magnetic wand against the logo, move the magnet briskly away and the transmitter will emit two short pulses, this indicates that the unit has stopped & is in hibernate mode. The wand has to be held in place because a two second delay (safe off feature) has been programmed into the transmitters control circuit to reduce the risk of false triggering. Please note that when left in the hibernate mode, some battery drain, although extremely small will occur.
We understand that some falconers have reservations about the magnetic switch function, so we have made this a “supplied as standard” feature that can be omitted if preferred.
