8 dBm for the transmitter is reasonable and achievable in the size and weight requested.
Unfortunately, I do not have a circuit schematic to offer.
Hi Ron,
Good to have those calculations--I'm going to refer back to this thread when I have a chance to get back into study for my ham licence (I want to wait for a class to start locally so I have some local brains to pick).
So given your conclusion, the 50 miles could be done, but essentially not in a city unless you're on top of the highest building, the bird is higher than you, you already know about where the bird is, and there is no interference?
I don't know very much about this but for me the big sticking points seemed to be the power supply (which you've addressed) and the "in the city" bit, which would seem to make the whole thing quite a bit tougher.
Am I way off or is it not that much of an issue?
