Maybe radio could do what you need. A lot of household stuff like cordless phones and wirless routers work with radio, and have a range like you're talking about. Radio would work well outdoors. You can try googling "radio homing device". I found stuff like the following links at the top of the results: [1] http://www.hopperanalytical.com/blog/arduino-homing-device-prototype [2] http://www.spyreview.co.uk/2007/07/02/personal-homing-device-find-your-stuff/ Just an idea, Phil -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
