Hehe, no, i'm not doing anything illegal here.
I am a live action roleplayer, playing a furry character, which is a lion.
The lion wears a military uniform and to top it off i want to put a
wildlife tracking collar on, inside the box i will put the
electronics that control the fans which keep the head cool (a foam head
can get hot, especially one covered with fake fur)
and the amplifier that controls the hearing aid. (nothing impressive, it
just amplifies the sounds outside so you have a better
hearing)
I'v done it before but usually i put it like you say in a project box
which sits in a pocket inside the suit.
So there won't be a transmitter or anything, i just try to be a purist and
find a faulty tracker such as this:

If i can't find then yes, i have to build something myself with this as an
example.
I hope you don't think i'm funny, i also do castle games and things such
as magic, everquest...
Yours

I need a bit better then a belt with a wire, i need an actual collar
because i also want to do something with it's housing.
That's why the original electronics can be stuffed.

So put a Radio Shack project box on a collar with a wire sticking out.
Put your electronics in the box. The original electronics are unlikely
to be useful, unless you have a receiver to match.

Do you even know--or will anyone who sees it actually know--what the real
thing looks like? In fact, what difference will it make what it looks
like, since many of the 'real' devices are actually cobbled together in a
lab or workshop?

Why don't you post what you actually need, it's intended use, and the
conditions under which it will be used? That way, you could take
advantage of the immense pool of knowledge here...instead of playing it
so close with your requirements. If you are looking to do something
illegal or unethical, go somewhere else.
