Can this allow me to track someone at Burning Man? It is a very remote event, lots of people will have lower quality radios, maybe 1,000 with Rinos..

Not sure. I only use mine in remote areas where there few if any other 610's except my group uses. Sorry to be no help.

I agree with Chris, I've only used the RF transmitter to broadcast the sound the radio of our vehicle. The IR should work just fine.

You can operate it just fine without a license as long as you don't transmit! People, please don't posture like an expert in something that you clearly aren't an expert (or even a novice, given the replies here) in!This goes for all but 2 of the commenters here, who actually got it right.

Not really, you would have to get close to the suspect to get anything useful, not good for far away, not good for outside surveillance too. Good for indoor meetings.

This will not work for you in that manner. The unit is designed to assist the person wearing it to be able to return to a previously saved GPS way point. You cannot use this unit to "track" someone who is in possession of it. In order to be able to track your grandfathers exact location you would need to provide him with a GPS unit that constantly transmits a location signal. This unit does not do that. You may want to look into some of the cellular phones on the market..... some of them have the tracking feature you are looking for, I have seen them advertised. There may be other such devices available for this purpose as well. Hope this helps you out. This will not work for you in that manner.

Just returned from an elk hunting trip. Loved it. HOWEVER....you must turn off your radio and use the Backtracker at least 3 feet away from any compasses or radios or similar magnetic gear. Otherwise the reading will be off. This is normal for these kinds of devices. Also, use the high powered lithium AAA's it recommends and keep the device warm with body heat (inside you sleeping bag, inside your jacket, etc) at all times, and you'll be set.

No, GPS systems show only the location of the receiver - they don't "track" people or objects. What you're asking about is called a "PLB" or Personal Locator Beacon, such as this http://www.amazon.com/ACR-Terrafix-406-Gps-Rebate/dp/B001JQ0C20/ or http://www.amazon.com/McMurdo-82-826-004A-Fastfind-Personal-Locator/dp/B000EFAT98/. However, these devices require activation by the user, so they still don't function exactly like you're asking. Now then, "Lojack" does make a product for tracking "at risk" people, such as Alzheimer's patients: http://www.locatorsystemscorp.com/ , but I'm going to assume your brother isn't in that category.

Amy, That's not one of the "things" you can monitor and keep track of. I had a quick search but I'm not seeing any devices that will do this. Doesn't mean one does not exist, just I could not find it. Nigel.

No however you do not get real time tracking, the unit has to be placed in or on the vehicle and then removed and information downloaded post journey.It seems the most reasonable item out there for the money, i.e. once you have paid for it that's it. It does burn through batteries and if the batteries fail half way through a trip then you seem to lose the rest of the data. It works for us doing random vehicle tracking on day journeys, it may not work if used for a several day road trip.

This will not allow real-time tracking. I returned the one of those that I had bought...VERY CHEAP P.O.S.!

No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.

if you can hear it you can communicate with it on this radio. Be careful it may be illegal to transmit there. Jim

I do not believe it will. The tracking (distance) is determined via GPS. Plus, the GPS does not work indoors.

Many police signals/broadcasts are now digital, so the analog scanners will do no good for that type signal. Some local PDs still might run some broadcasting on analog, bit most state police, atf, etc are digital. Google "radio reference", get to their different forums for the state you live in.I'm thinking about getting the 750 myself. Did you wind up keeping it? It seems to be good for Ham radio listening.

if you're a secret agent you may think twice about broadcasting it. Try keeping it a secret. The camera works fine.
