[Xastir] Many thanks, guys!

Jim,

    Very nifty device, but pricey as with all things Garmin.

    Looking at the spec sheet, there doesn't appear to be data in or out 
for the handheld unit, only a power adapter.

    The next thought I had was what data format is the 'collar' unit 
transmitting back to the handheld unit?  This isn't listed on the spec 
sheet, but if it is standard NMEA, I would think you would be able to 
receive it on your 2-meter, than output it to a laptop.  That's a lot of 
IF's.

    Why not make up a little waterproof beacon with a TT3?

    I am sure more guys on here will have many more ideas then I.

Cheers,

Nick
