a GPS dog collar tracker
Looking for what Level 1 rockets use for a tracking device from cheap to $$ what is the go to tracker?

while many may not use one, they are still a "cheap" & readily available option.. (our club still has one!!)2005 called. They want their GPS dog collar back. Nobody is using those for rocketry anymore.
I'd add the https://altusmetrum.org/ product line to that group. And I like the https://shop.bigredbee.com/ line up.2005 called. They want their GPS dog collar back. Nobody is using those for rocketry anymore.
The most popular are probably:
Eggfinder $
Missileworks $$
Featherweight $$$
Get a proper GPS designed for rocketry, like these three. Don't be tempted by those cheap Tiles or monthly service plan things used to find your cat or your car keys.

They were not cheap in 2005, and they still seem relatively pricey today, IMO. A cursory look at Bass Pro Shops shows collars range from $150 to over $1000. Plus, they are big and bulky. I think one can do better with rocketry systems.
For Level 1 tracking, this is the priority I recommend:
Tracking has nothing to do with Level, so I am not sure what the OP is driving at. Is it to find his Level 1 certification attempt, or general HPR use? High impulse H and I motors in small diameter rockets definitely need more than eyeballs to find.

I don't know what types are available but the cheaper ones were using 3G cellular technology so they don't work anymore. My daughter had those for her dogs. The ones that use current cell towers are more expensive.
