It'll be after Christmas before I can get the first batch built, and I'm not making any promises that the on-board accelerometer or barometric pressure sensor will be operating, but it worked great as a low-cost, lightweight tracker.

Once I get the T3-9670's receive code tuned and working at full sensitivity it should make a good, compact ground station - but for now you'll need to supply your own 440 MHz, 9600 baud receiver.
