Hi

First off, apologies if this is in the wrong forum - please move if so.

Looking to put a tracker on a motorbike I've just got. It's not worth too much but fairly desirable to scrotes. For this reason I'd like it to be fairly cheap.

I've seen a couple of options. The GPRS trackers (TK102?) on eBay, that you can import for circa £20. Will these be any use, or will they never get a signal? Mixed reviews on Google.

The second seems to be a VHF tracker that the tracking companies sell. I don't want a yearly cost through a company, I'd rather just fit and track myself on Google maps etc if possible. I can't seem to find any though - can it not be done? From what I read, VHF trackers seem to be much more likely to actually work.

To summarise - cheap tracker wanted that works and doesn't have a yearly cost. Not too much to ask for laugh

Thanks
