I'd be willing to bet, if the nomads are as competitive as several of the
dealers who regularly make trips to Morocco say, that:
1. any technology you give then will quickly be used for something other
than its original intent, and
2. there will be a ferocious amount of infighting and sabotage, if the
transmitters really do get used as transmitters. I can easily see one
guy dropping them, and 10 feet behind him, someone else scooping them up,
then possibly dropping the transmitters in some random location, or just
chucking the lot at a scrap dealer's, just to protect their own finds.
