The Flock of Birds can be configured to track from one to four sensors simultaneously with one or more RS-232 interfaces to a host computer. Long range coverage is easily added by "clicking in" our Extended Range Transmitter (ERT/ERC). For high speed operations, add more RS-232 ports and use our Fast Bird Bus (FBB).
