How about the very low tech bell? I know of one person who clips a very
small cowbell on the dog when he is not working. Or to get a little higher
tech a remote control alarm of some type. I don't think that the radio
receivers would work. The receivers would be too close together to
accurately identify the direction.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] radio direction finding project
I'm working on a project for a friend. She wants to be able to train dogs
off leash and she has to be able to know where the dog is.
My idea is a belt with eight tactile feedback units spaced equally around a
belt and A radio transmitter for the dog to wear.
Some sort of direction finding antanna.
Maybe each of the eight units could be receivers and a micro processor could
determine which one is receiving the stronger signal.
Any ideas at all?
How could I go about developing something like this. What are good sources
for parts, etc.
David
