+Battery, APRS-Tracker, Receiver and GPS: It's all included within the casing.
+  * The enclosure is from Peli.
+  * The tracker itself is a OpenTracker+ from Argent Data Systems.
+  * The Transceiver is a Yaesu VX-3.
+  * The GPS Module is taken out of a Sirf-III GPS Dongle by Navilock.
+To save battery power, the transceiver is only powered if a position has to be transmitted.

+The configuration can be done through a custom made cable. The cable makes the connection between the tracker and a serial interface from a PC.
