Why Choose the XLF 3V?
The XLF 3V combines a rugged machined aluminum housing with the flexibility to configure the transmitter around your preferred mounting and operating setup.
Unlike our lighter LF transmitters, the XLF Series is built as a fully sealed unit to provide additional protection from weather, dirt, moisture, and demanding field conditions.
The 3V model provides a strong middle ground between transmitter output and battery life, making it a versatile choice for falconers who want the durability and flexibility of the XLF platform without moving to the higher-output 4.5V or 6V configurations.
Specifications
Weight: Approximately 6 grams
Battery: 2 × 392 (SR41W) silver oxide batteries
Battery Life: Approximately 7 days / 168 hours continuous operation
Rated Range: Up to 20 miles under favorable conditions
Construction: Fully sealed machined aluminum housing
Antenna: Replaceable screw-in antenna on standard screw stud
Loaded Antenna Option: Approximately 6.5 inches long
Magnetic Switching: Optional
Mounting Options: Configure at time of order
Frequency: Select an available frequency or request a custom frequency
Actual tracking range varies with terrain, elevation, receiver, antenna orientation, and surrounding conditions.
Rugged, Fully Sealed Aluminum Housing
The XLF Series uses a precision-machined aluminum housing designed to protect the transmitter electronics during demanding field use.
Once assembled, the transmitter forms a fully sealed unit that helps protect the electronics from moisture, dirt, weather, vibration, and impact.
This construction makes the XLF particularly well suited to falconers who place a high priority on durability and long-term service in the field.
Replaceable Antenna System
XLF transmitters use a replaceable screw-in antenna mounted to a standard screw stud. If an antenna becomes damaged or worn, it can be replaced without replacing the transmitter itself.
A traditional full-length antenna can be used for maximum practical performance, or the XLF can be configured with an optional loaded antenna approximately 6.5 inches long for a much more compact overall package.
The loaded antenna provides a convenient shorter option while retaining strong practical tracking performance.
Get full-size antenna performance in a much more compact package.
Our loaded antennas are approximately half the length of a traditional full-length antenna while providing similar tracking performance. Internal tuning components allow the antenna to remain compact without requiring the full wire length normally needed for the operating frequency.
At approximately 6.5 inches long, the loaded design provides a lower-profile antenna option for compatible L.L. Electronics transmitters while maintaining the dependable signal performance you expect in the field.
Replacement loaded antennas are available for Razor, LF-4, and XLF transmitters in several frequency ranges.
Please select both the transmitter model and frequency range that match your transmitter.
Important: Loaded antennas are tuned for specific transmitter models and frequency ranges. Select the option that matches your transmitter. If you're unsure which antenna you need, contact us before ordering.
Standard replacement antennas at 13 inches long correspond with the LF-2G Series Transmitters as well as the XLF-Series Transmitters.
Battery Life & 3V Performance
The XLF 3V operates from two 392 (SR41W) silver oxide batteries, producing a 3-volt operating configuration with approximately 7 days, or 168 hours, of continuous use.
Within the XLF family, the 3V model emphasizes a practical balance between transmitter output and battery duration. Moving to the 4.5V or 6V models increases output, but also increases battery consumption.
For many falconers, the XLF 3V provides an excellent balance of runtime, tracking performance, weight, and durability.
Configure Your XLF
One of the advantages of the XLF Series is the ability to configure the transmitter around your preferred field setup.
Mounting Option — Select the mounting configuration appropriate for your bird and application.
Magnetic Switching — Add magnetic on/off operation so the transmitter can be prepared ahead of time and activated immediately before use without removing the battery.
Loaded Antenna — Choose the compact approximately 6.5-inch loaded antenna when a shorter overall antenna is preferred.
If you are unsure which combination is right for your bird or tracking system, contact us before ordering.
XLF 3V, 4.5V or 6V?
XLF 3V — Balanced Performance
Choose the 3V when you want a strong combination of battery life, tracking performance, and XLF durability.
XLF 4.5V — Increased Output
Choose the 4.5V when greater transmitter output and range are more important than maximum battery duration.
XLF 6V — Maximum XLF Output
Choose the 6V when maximum transmitter output is the priority and shorter battery life is acceptable.
Higher-output falconry transmitter built on the rugged, fully sealed XLF platform.
The XLF 4.5V is designed for falconers who want greater transmitter output and tracking range while retaining the durable machined aluminum construction and configurable design of the XLF Series.
Weight: Approx. 6 grams
Battery: 3 × 396 (SR726W) silver oxide batteries
Battery Life: Approx. 6 days / 144 hours continuous operation
Rated Range: Up to 25 miles under favorable conditions
Best For: Falconers wanting increased output and range in a rugged, configurable transmitter
Actual tracking range varies with terrain, elevation, receiver, antenna orientation, and surrounding conditions.
Maximum-output falconry transmitter built on the rugged XLF platform.
The XLF 6V is the highest-output transmitter in the XLF Series, designed for falconers who prioritize maximum signal strength and tracking range. Its fully sealed machined aluminum housing, replaceable antenna system, and configurable options provide the durability and flexibility of the XLF platform at its highest output level.
Weight: Approx. 7 grams
Battery: 4 × 392 (SR41W) silver oxide batteries
Battery Life: Approx. 5 days / 120 hours continuous operation
Rated Range: Up to 30 miles under favorable conditions
Best For: Falconers who prioritize maximum transmitter output and tracking range
Actual tracking range varies with terrain, elevation, receiver, antenna orientation, and surrounding conditions.
Mounting Options
The XLF can be ordered in several mounting configurations:
Transmitter Only — For customers who already have their preferred mounting hardware.
Leather Bewit — A traditional leg-mount option for falconry use.
Tail-Mount Wire Clip — For use with compatible tail-mount systems.
If you are unsure which mounting option is best for your bird or application, contact us before ordering.
Choosing Your Frequency
L.L. Electronics transmitters are available on a variety of radio-tracking frequencies.
Select one of the available frequencies when ordering, or request a custom frequency if you need to match an existing tracking system. If you are unsure which frequency you need, contact us with the receiver and equipment you currently use and we can help determine compatibility.
