[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 271664, member: 414"] Due to detectors being used predominantly in rural areas I think the Bluetooth tag type of tracker is not the most reliable option. They are awesome for their small size though but you can't rely on the thief bringing your stolen detector back to a suburban area. I use a lot of GPS trackers in equipment I build for mining companies , so far the best ones I have used will give 10 - 12 weeks of battery life between recharge but they are 150 X 50 X 40 mm , you're not going to fit that inside a GPX 5000 case unless you make a fake box on the side and label it " mine lab anti interference kit #056 " I use TK15 units which claim 300 days in standby but reality is 2-3 months , hook them up to an intermittent charge timer and you have a solid solution. There is still room for a better product to be used in detectors though, smaller with a longer battery life would be nice. [/QUOTE]
