WARNING:  The BRB900L is not compatible with the original BRB900.

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:

• BRB433L:  Amateur radio operators may use the relatively underutilized 70 cm band (420–450 MHz). With a transmitter bandwidth of 62.5 kHz, this band can support 250 individual RF frequencies. Frequency hopping is  supported on the BRB433L.  Time-slotting provides up to 1000 RF channels. 


• BRB900L: No license is required on the 900Mhz ISM band. 30 direct frequencies and 250 additional  with frequency hopping enabled.  Time-slotting provides up to distinct  560 RF channels. 

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 (with frequency hopping disabled)

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
