Thank you Gentlemen ,

I have tried 3 different email addresses for over 2 months to Big Red
Bee without luck . I am looking for a
tracker / GPS unit to fly with midpower motors in the K ,L ,M range
but have lots of
questions . I currently do not have a ham license but do plan on it
and I do have a licensed ham
operater who would be happy to be in charge until i do get a license .
 Either of you gentlemen have any good advice or stories about rocket
tracking ?

Thanks again ,

The Rockethunter site is still up, But Joe is no longer selling the
Rockethunter.  Something about his supplier increasing the price.

Joe's supplier is now selling transmitters, but on a slightly different
frequency that the Rockethunter receiever can't handle.  Our club got a
real good deal on trading in our Rockethunter receiver for one that can
handle both frequencies.

No, I don't know the name of the new supplier.  Our club prefect has
handled it all.

Hi Richard:
I bet you're getting hung up in Greg's spam filter.  I've forwarded a
copy of this posting to him and maybe that will get through.

I fly both of Greg's products and think they're great.

What questions do you have?  I expect that someone on the forum will be
able to answer.
    Best wishes,
    Will

That's right Will -- thanks for sending him my way.  Best way to reach
me is greg 'at' bigredbee.com -- you can also try bigredbe 'at'
comcast.net, or via the forums at rocketryforum.com where my username
is (that's right) BigRedBee.

As Will mentioned, there's also a forum setup there with lots of info
-- check out the GPS tracks that were downloaded off the GPS units and
converted to Google Earth to get an idea of the capabilites of the GPS
transmitter.  Most recently piece of data was a balloon flight from
the east coast to 80K feet -- tracked the entire flight from the
ground in the chase car -- pretty amazing what can be done with RF and
line of site.

For those of you who are looking for MORE POWER, I am also now
offering an amplified GPS transmitter  capable of  1 and a 4 watts
output power.

to the same place.....
