The robust design of the Solar Argos/GPS 45g PTT distinguishes this model, making it light enough for many medium-sized species yet durable in harsh environments. The 45g PTT uses the same battery as our larger Solar Argos/GPS PTTs, allowing longer transmission capabilities on a single battery charge.
