Recommendations for the attachment of satellite transmitters to cranes
January 1, 2001
Recent advances in miniaturization of satellite transmitters have resulted in thumb-sized packages weighing less than 30 g. These are smaller than VHF radios routinely mounted on crane leg bands. With this development and with favorable signal reception results, there is no need for, and much to recommend against the continued use of back-pack mounts. We provide details for leg-mount attachments.
