The
transmitter fits easily in a man's hand, and is about the
length of his fingers. It's very light (100 grams). Notice
its spongy black base, which goes on the eagle's back. |
Four
cloth straps extend from the plastic box. Cloth is used so
the straps will eventually rot and allow the transmitter to
fall off. |
The
eagle's wings are extended and the transmitter goes on its back. |
The
two top straps come over the shoulders, and the bottom two
straps go around the abdomen.
|
The
ends of all four straps come together in the front. They are
sewn by hand, so the straps can be adjusted according to the
eagle's size.
|
Notice
how the antenna extends up and away from the body. This allows
the signal to be sent unobstructed.
