So I configured the TeleGPS on 435.350 and Telemini on 434.550. Can only configure and monitor one device at a time per Base. Hoping the Telemini retains last programmed altimeter deploy settings while monitoring GPS. If anyone sees a fault in that logic speak up.

Interesting to note you can swap the channels on base to switch between monitoring one device or the other.

I've done it Andrew. Used the Telemega and tele GPS in same rocket.
However i did have 2 base units {teleBT] to track both simultaneously.
It did require 2 of us to do it.

It will work just fine with one base. i have tracked 4 rockets, [not mine] that way.
As long as standard frequencies are being used. You can program non-public ones only you can track also.
 
If you have room, try to vertically offset the TX antennas. It will keep your electronics happy.

+1 on blackjacks response.

I have also had luck with two TeleDongles on a single computer. Remember, both of those transmitters also have APRS if you have the ability to use that signal.
