The 900 MHz band is commonly used for GPS trackers. At large events, these frequencies can become saturated leading to a complete loss of radio communication between the rocket and the ground station.  The new BRBxL GPS Trackers from BigRedBee address these issues with several key features:

• BRB900L: Frequency Hopping: Both the transmitter and receiver cycle through all available channels using a pseudo-random, pair-specific hopping pattern. This approach increases the likelihood of successful packet reception, even if multiple transmitters are active, by reducing the chance of persistent channel conflicts

• BRB900L: Expanded Channel Count: Licensed amateur radio operators can reduce the bandwidth of each channel from 500 kHz to 250 or 125 kHz. This change increases the number of available channels from 30 to over 100, providing more options and reducing congestion.

• BRB433L: Using the 7cm Band: Operators with an amateur radio license may use the relatively underutilized 70 cm band (420–450 MHz). With a transmitter bandwidth of 100 kHz, this band can support more than 300 individual channels. Frequency hopping is also supported on the BRB433L.

Transmitter: u-blox SAM10 GPS module with integrated patch antenna.  Max altitude 80km.  160mw LoRa transceiver.  Position reports transmitted at 1 hz intervals.  Up to 20 minutes of flight data stored in non-volatile memory can be downloaded after flight as raw data, or .kml file.  On-board barometric sensor for robust launch detection and u-blox GPS for  accurate altitude readings up to 80km. 

Receiver:  Same form factor as current BRB900.  16 column x 3 row sunlight readable LCD displays latitude, longitude, altitude, max altitude and distance / bearing to pad. No bluetooth, no phone, no PC or expensive APRS receiver required to display critical flight information.  Two transmitters can be monitored at once for staged flights.

USB-C interface for programming and charging.  Powered by a single cell LiPo with on-board battery charger.  User selectable RF channels, node-ids  and time slotting prevent interference w/ other trackers.  Alternate frequencies  available on 900Mhz do NOT conflict with some of the other very popular transmitters.

Phone app available for alternate display method with voice announcements during light so you can watch your rocket, not the display.  Phone app required for firmware update.

433 Mhz version  and alternate frequencies on 900 Mhz require an Amateur Radio License.  No license required for standard 900 Mhz frequencies
