Technical Description

While Campbell Scientific's ST-21 Argos PTT is based on Telonics' ST-21, they are not equivalent; our ST-21 includes a case, voltage regulator, and our SDC communication interface.

Please note that when ordering the transmitter, the customer needs to provide Campbell Scientific with the number of buffers, repetition rate, decimal ID, Dex ID, frequency, and fail safe information.

To use the Argos system, you must receive formal permission from Service Argos and pay a fee. The data must be used for environmental purposes. Examples include meteorological/hydrological stations, ship tracking, volcano monitoring, and seismic data.
