BS 601 LUX of the BS Planet: Hunting is an exciting and at the same time risky activity, both for the hunter and for the dog used in the hunt, but thanks to the BS Planet collars your dog will always be under control ..
If man, however, can defend himself thanks to the use of reason and intellect, the animal can guarantee very high performance only if it is healthy and properly trained. The training of hunting dogs is now practiced through the use of electric and radio-controlled collars. But this is not the place to go deeper into this issue. Rather, we would like to focus on the radio-controlled devices that allow you to locate the dog during the hunting activity and to check its conditions in the stationary state or when it goes away on the tracks of some ungulate. In fact, in hunting activities, both for large game and for migratory game, hunters increasingly use GPS locators.
These are radio collars equipped with a satellite signal that allows you to exactly locate the dog's position even at considerable kilometers away. These devices are very useful, not only for the most demanding hunting trips (where the dog could stray too far or get injured), but also in those that are faced for the first time by the same hunter. The locators allow, in fact, to also memorize the coordinates of the frequented area, allowing it to be explored even in the following days. However, not all radio collars guarantee good performance. The devices in use a few years ago had low performance and similarly low location distances. Today, however, that technology has made great strides, increasingly exceptional and performing devices are placed on the market. Among these is certainly the very latest BS 601 LUX radio collar from BS Planet. With this product, the company aims to conquer a very large market, because the device includes, in a single kit, different functions previously distributed in the basic models.
The BS 601 LUX is a locator, a GPS (Global Positioning System) radio collar and a Beeper.
The latter technology includes acoustic signals that allow the dog to be identified and to draw its attention even from considerable kilometers away. There BS Planet, manufacturer of the device, has managed to obtain a high-tech product thanks to a long tradition and experience in electronics. The company, founded years ago in Gaggio Montano, a town of just over 5 souls in the province of Bologna, has been able to combine the hunting and dog-loving passion of its founders with electronics, managing to "create", with its own hands, hyper-technological and truly innovative products. The passion for the hunting has been handed down from generation to generation, so much so that the heirs of BS Planet have always remained faithful to a production made of hunting accessories, technological and otherwise.
Today, the company produces camera traps, products for selection hunting, shooting accessories, multifunction radio collars and two-way radios. Speaking of the latter, too BS 601 LUX has one: it is the GPS locator that receives and sends data to the radio collar worn by the dog. GPS technology makes it possible to identify the position of the animal and its activity even at a distance of 30 km in open space (open space). The transceiver is also able to emit an acoustic signal and a vibration that allow you to attract the dog's attention and call it back even when it is at a considerable distance from its owner.
The main technical characteristics of the BS 601 LUX kit they are: the possibility of managing up to 999 dogs and storing several radio collars on the same locator; the ability to see the position of the dog and the distance in meters through an arrow; the ability to customize the motion detector of the stop according to the dog used; the possibility of memorizing up to 100 points of the explored area (very useful function for finding the car in little-known or inaccessible hunting areas); the possibility of adjusting the warning of the dog when stationary from 1 to 240 seconds; the display of the coordinates of the radio collar and of the locator (transmitter); the adapter for charging the kit in the car; the locator and collar are rechargeable with internal lithium polymer battery without memory.
In short, the advantages of the kit BS 601 LUX there are many, but what could be the possible defects of such a device? The product is brand new and is proposed on the market precisely to overcome the limits of the old generation radio collars. The transmitter, or handheld, or locator, is similar to any transmitter or receiver and therefore contains keys for setting various functions.
These electronic products may present problems if misused. Let's say these hunting transmitters they are the typical products of "geeks", those who now know everything or more about satellite telecommunications. The merit of BS 601 LUX is that in case of construction defects you can enjoy two years of assistance. The detail is not insignificant, because this radio collar costs, hear, hear, about 1500 euros. To make a radio collar and its locator last a long time, shocks and trauma should be avoided, but also prohibitive atmospheric conditions. These accessories are also useful for hunting ungulates, sometimes even for migratory animals, while they are not used in the case of hunting game boats, where the dog is often forced to dive and swim.
In purchasing the products offered, however, it is necessary to ensure that they are approved and authorized for civil use in the Italian territory. A few years ago, in fact, some users bought a radio collar from a company that used the GPS frequencies assigned to the Ministry of Defense. This product was not usable in Italy, because it could disturb the radio frequencies assigned to the Italian army. The issue was purely bureaucratic, because the product was tested and certified for sale, but with the limit of use in the national territory, a limit that had to be declared through a label issued by the Ministry. The label also had to indicate the obligation to request a license for use by individuals, with payment of the relative rights to be borne by the user, otherwise administrative and criminal penalties would be risked.
Here is the second advantage of BS 601 LUX: there are no bureaucratic limits to its use.
