BigRedBee is pleased to announce the availability of the BeeLine GPS Transmitter!
Priced at less than $260 and weighing less than 2 ounces, tracking your rocket, ariplane or helicopter has never been easier or more affordable!
http://www.bigredbee.com/beelinegps.htm
The BeeLine GPS consists of a 70cm FM transmitter and a GPS receiver. Data from the GPS receiver is encoded into standard APRS data packets and then sent out via the embedded 440 Mhz FM transmitter. A standard ham radio receiver along with a PC soundcard and/or amateur radio gear (standard TNC hardware) can be used to decode the data packets. No need for dedicated receiver hardware!
Transmit frequencies and other parameters are user programmable; 100's of transmitters may be used at the same location without interfering with each other.
A complete package consists of the BeeLine GPS transmitter, an RS-232 serial adapter, 750mah lithium poly battery (that lasts for more than 8 hours), a li-po battery charger, and SMA antenna connector. The serial adapter and battery charger are compatible with the existing BeeLine transmitter.
A valid amateur radio license is required.
