I am trying to come up with something similar to the key finders that are commonly found in stores. They are the devices that you stick to something, like your keychain, then when you lose it you press a button on the related device that you hopefully haven't lost and your keys beep. The difference is I am looking to make something small enough to attach to a frisbee golf frisbee that is light and small enough in profile to not affect the flight characteristics. I would like to somehow embed it in the plastic. Then when you lose your frisbee you pull out this device, press a button and your frisbee beeps. If no one has any ideas maybe they could point me in the direction of an existing product small enough for me to adapt to this project.

Where is guzdorf? Perhaps looking for his lost discs? Were we sent on a wild frisbee chase?

Wow jsolar. I now decalre you the reigning genius of FDD Enterprises (sorry Gunnar).

Learned something new today, time for dinner and a good night's sleep.

Such is the power of this forum.

I forgot my communications...I remember thinking that with every chapter; dang these guys were truly amazing; sideband, envelope detectors, mixing to match the transmission medium.

jsolar; That IS a nice idea!

Maybe using just a single nulling coil would do the trick too, diodes need not apply. :)
