The BMK SkyLink unit is a 'non-display' receiver for the BMK AltiLoc GPS beacon transmitter and is a cheaper alternative to the BMK FlexiDisplay hand units. SkyLink will receive GPS, altimeter and other data from any AltiLoc on the selected radio channel and display information on the BMK Finder phone app to enable quick, efficient tracking for users of model aircraft, drones, falcons and other applications. For Free Flight model aircraft, SkyLink also provides RCDT capability with the option to increase DT with compatible BMK timers. SkyLink is configurable via the BMK Finder app(available from Apple Store and Google Play) to allow different radio channels and RCDT codes to be used.
The BMK SkyLink GPS system consists of two parts.
- SkyLink 434MHz Hand Unit
- Alti-Loc GPS Beacon: Low-power ultra-light radio beacon with GPS and altimeter.
