Here at long last is our first attempt to video the fitting of a Marshall radio telemetry trackpack. It was late on a summer evening and it was raining outside and the indoor lighting isn’t the best, but we did what we could and hopefully it will be a start.
OK this is the second part to how to fit a trackpack video.
Hope you find it useful.
In this next video we look at the two main options offered by Marshall radio receivers the 100 and the 1000. In the video I use the new 434 receiver 100 and 1000 digital telemetry receiver. As always if you have any comments or would like more information please contact via marshalldirect@gmail.com
The other day I was asked a question regarding the best batteries to use in Marshall transmitters. There’s a few points to remember when buying and using battery transmitters, and I thought it might be useful to post my reply here.
When using a battery for a falconry transmitter, always take the old battery out and leave it a minute before putting in a new one. Alternatively, place a battery in the wrong way around to reset the falconry transmitter memory. This procedure causes no harm, and has to be done on all Marhsall Radio Powermax transmitters as a matter of course due to the nature that some power is still present in the transmitter after a battery has been taken out.
If you check the voltage on a RT+ battery, from many manufactures you’ll find that [Read more]
The title to this post about falconry telemetry begs an obvious answer.
Of course you should use falconry telemetry to locate your bird, to offer some kind of solace and reassurance against loss. However a great many people don’t use falconry telemetry, especially those that fly the most popular bird of prey in the UK, the Harris Hawk.
I myself flew for two years without telemetry.
I was a poor student at the time and falconry telemetry was a large investment into something I thought I could live without, I thought I could simply use magpies or crows to locate my bird.
Then, as I started to hunt more, I would lose my Harris Hawk through sloppy weight management (trying to fly the bird to heavy) and then finally on a shooting estate whilst on a field meet. The Harris Hawk, a large female, had killed and then hidden in some deep cover. Every time I called she kept still and I heard no bells [Read more]

My name is Stephen Lea and I'm a falconer based in the UK.
I've been flying for over fifteen years and mainly fly longwings. As a falconer I know how important it is to hear about other peoples experiences. Shared information on the sport is invaluable. As well as being extremely interesting it can open up new perspectives, ignite ideas and save valuable time. I hope from reading these pages and sharing your own practices, you will do just that.
