1Opinion of the Court
PECK, Senior Circuit Judge.
Leroy Knotts and Darryl Petschen appeal from their convictions of conspiring to manufacture controlled substances. The principal issue on appeal concerns the admissibility of evidence obtained through use of a signal transmitter (“beeper”) placed by police agents in a can of chloroform purchased by a co-conspirator of the appellants’. Knotts and Petschen argue that the war-rantless use of this beeper violated their Fourth Amendment rights, and that the evidence obtained through tracking the beeper should have been excluded by the district court.
