The nice thing about this system is that you don't have to manually point the antenna toward your rocket. Boostervision has a similar setup (BV-GMCBO) with a directional antenna for about $19 more. That gives you a bit more range (up to a mile total) but with the added requirement of manually pointing the antenna. For rockets that are limited to such altitudes, this seems like the ticket. Now, how can I let my wife know I want one?
