Many of us have the old Comspec tracker with the rectangular tracker housing. They will start to dwindle.
Anyone have the skills to design a replacement casing or housing?

Com Spec is still making these trackers- just in a smaller form factor. Unfortunately when they made it smaller, they also made it more fragile in design.
Com Spec is no longer making the AT-2B, which transmits at 95 milliwats in the 222-225 Mhz Amatuer radio band. The newer "button" style transmitter comes in three versions, RC-SP transmitts 1 milliwatt, the RC-MP transmitts 5 milliwatts, and the RC-HP transmitts 30 milliwatts. I use the RC-HP for most of my HPR sport rockets.
The button version has a longer, less durable antenna that can be purchased separately, I keep a few extras in my range box.
I still have a few functional AT-2B's , and use them for the big rockets that land miles away.
Ummm, It was 50mW and that's what got the federal cookie commission on their case.
Ooops, I stand corrected there was a 95mW tracker but technically it was for law enforcement. The stuff we generally got was 50mW.
