The document outlines specifications for acoustic transmitters and receivers under the Juvenile Salmonid Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) Program. The required transmitters must be compact, operate within 0-31°C, and emit a signal at 416.7 kHz with configurable coding features. They are expected to include a unique 4-place alphanumeric ID, an 8-bit Barker code, and a 16-bit tag ID with provisions for duty cycling. The receivers must detect and decode various tag codes, connecting to an underwater hydrophone and housed in a weatherproof enclosure. They are required to use 12-volt power, have a direct USB connection for programming, and feature a 32 GB memory card for data storage. Additionally, these receivers will maintain time synchronization through GPS and record system voltage and temperature. Both equipment types must have a warranty of at least one year. This summary reflects the technical requirements meant for procurement via federal RFPs, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and reliability in tracking juvenile salmonids for conservation and research purposes within the context of government funding initiatives.
