Abstract :
A very small radiotelemetry device was developed in order to record muscle potentials from a freely flying moth. The device had two channels for recording and its weight was about 0.4 g including a button battery. Since the muscle potentials were transmitted by FM waves at about 80M Hz, they can be received on a standard FM tuner
