The Kiss Fox Controller Version 1, show attached to a ZLVHF01 ZARES 2m Handheld. Designed to work together specifically, they are programmed to send an ident letter five times, then sleep for around 30 seconds. They ident with a preprogrammed callsign every 5 minutes. Designed and Built by Jim Towler ZL1TYF of Wellington VHF Group.
We demonstrated with these units but found that in practise, the 1W power level of the ZARES Handheld is by default far too high for use in a situation such as JOTA; by the time you are within 50 feet of the transmitter, it is full scale and very hard for people new to the idea to get to grips with. Still, not a bad piece of kit.
