They have been updated. I bought the newer version from Wildman back in June.
He said that the frequencies can be changed, also have a longer antenna.

I had a transmitter made for me for my Comspec receiver by another company that has posted on the forum before. Can't remember the name right now but the case screws together.
the XLF 6v is a little spendy at $155+, but will fit in much smaller rockets.
Com-Spec AT-2B has arrange of 50 miles in the air and 5 on the ground.
Why did Com Spec. stop making the transmitter that had the black plastic box?
I like the AT-2B also. Maybe Randy needs to know if more chime in from rocketry that they like the AT-2B better.
I just destroyed one that Randy had just fixed .. asked him the best replacement and he sent me the link to RC-HP also.
It would be unfortunate if Comm-Spec did discontinue the AT-2B altogether (as a special order). That was/is my "go to" transmitter. I had LL Electronics make me an XLF 6V in 222.990 MHz for use with my Comm-Spec R-300A. However, they purposely made it 222.995 MHz with the assertion that I could tune it in better with my R-400A. Only issue is that I don't have the Comm-Spec R-400A (for falconry), I have the R-300A. I am currently working with Lauren at LL Electronics to see if their unsolicited solution of sending me a transmitter made for 222.995 MHz is/would be better than 222.990 MHz.
The Com-Spec 300A will not tune to the 5 khz frequency. I also bought an LL Electronics TX, 224.115, after talking to Lauren. She said to call her when I got it and she would walk me through the tuning process. Received it three days ago and yesterday called her. We tried several times, even got Louie the owner envolved, no can do. I'm sending it back for another unit with 224.110 Mhz as it's frequency.
Sent my XLF 6V back to LL Electronics to be remade. I will let everyone know how it works after being tuned to the correct frequency for my R-300A.
Errrrrrr.... I think being strapped to a rocket is a bit more stressful than being attached to a hawk.:wink:
That said, I can't recall many posts about problems when flown with/in rockets. Maybe you
experience was a fluke that they'll fix for you. You might want to look closely and see if
they repair your tracker or simply send you a new one. Kurt
