However, with the DANiNJECT TrackDart with VHF transmitter, you will always be able to find the animal again - easily, quickly, and without the need for costly backup measures like following the animal from a helicopter.  The super-light VHF transmitter (2.7 grams incl. battery) allows for precise and reliable immobilization, and with a range of 2000 m, you can confidently find the darted animal again using your preferred VHF receiver. ## Watch how to easily prepare TrackDart ![VHF transmitter](https://dan-inject.com/hs-fs/hubfs/VHF%20transmitter.jpeg?width=1179&height=600&name=VHF%20transmitter.jpeg) Your browser does not support the video tag. ![VHF transmitter2](https://dan-inject.com/hs-fs/hubfs/VHF%20transmitter2.jpeg?width=992&height=989&name=VHF%20transmitter2.jpeg) ## Technical specifications **Easy preparation.** The VHF transmitter can easily be inserted into the dart. No additional equipment needed. **Customizable frequency range.** Programmable within 140–160 MHz to match your preferred receiver setup and local frequency regulations. **Outstanding range.** Transmission range up to 2,000 meters, depending on receiver sensitivity and terrain. **Lightweight design**. The transmitter and battery weighs only 2.7 grams, minimizing impact on dart performance and animal welfare. **Long battery life.** Operates for 72 hours at full signal frequency, followed by 48 hours at reduced frequency to ensure continued location capability during extended field operations. **Rechargeable battery.** Take out the battery after use and recharge it to use it over and over. **Fits with S300.** Designed for DANiNJECT S300 (3.0 ml) darts, ensuring optimal flight dynamics and reliability. ![Credit Raquel Alves](https://dan-inject.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Credit%20Raquel%20Alves.jpeg?width=1280&height=975&name=Credit%20Raquel%20Alves.jpeg) User story ## “Now I can trust that if the darted tapir runs away, I will find it” The introduction of the new DANiNJECT TrackDart has been a game-changer for Patricia Medici in her lowland tapir conservation work in Brazil.
