TelemetryPro® Turn-On Coil
There is currently a long waiting list for Kate-3. This is because shipments had been on hold for 8 months due to the worldwide shortage of electronic components, including the radio modules used in Kate-3. That situation has now been resolved and shipments are going out the door as fast as possible. However, right now the lead time is running about 4 months. That lead time will gradually reduce as the waiting list gets shorter. If you are interested in being added to the waiting list, then please send a message using the contact page. Doing so will give you priority over anyone added after you. Updates will be posted here as the situation changes.
Kate-1 and Kate-2 are Obsolete
August 30, 2021
August 30, 2021
Kate-3 is the newest version and replaces the older and now obsolete Kate-2. Kate-1 and Kate-2 are no longer being produced because the radio module used in them is no longer available. After 12 years the radio module has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, this means Kate-3 transmitters and receivers are not compatible and will not communicate with the older Kate-1 and Kate-2 transmitters and receivers. Customers with existing Kate-1 and Kate-2 products will still be supported with ongoing firmware updates that include new features.

Kip Daugirdas successfully flew the Kate-3 tracking system to over 293,000 feet and Mach 4.18 in a two-stage rocket named MESOS. The rocket was launched from the Black Rock dry lake bed in northwestern Nevada on October 1, 2022. The Kate-3 system controlled all flight operations including sustainer ignition, drogue and main parachute deployments, GPS tracking and telemetry downlink. The booster and sustainer were both safely recovered. More information along with pictures and some outstanding onboard video are available here.
Price Increases
March 1, 2023
March 1, 2023
Unfortunately, it has become necessary to increase prices. This is the first time that prices have been increased since these products were introduced. Some of them going back as far as 2014. These higher prices are a result of the cost of materials and assembly having significantly increased over time and especially in the last few years. The price of a receiver and transmitter pair is now 11% higher. Other items have also increased slightly. Carrying cases for example have gone up 7%. These price increases have been minimized as much as possible, but they have become necessary in order to keep this business viable going forward. The new prices are all listed on the BUY webpage.

Recent Outstanding Flights
Multitronix would like to congratulate all the flyers at the BALLS-23 launch that successfully flew the TelemetryPro Tracking System. Three flights in particular were really exceptional. All three were tracked the whole way and safely recovered. The audio output from the TelemetryPro receiver was connected to the launch PA system for these flights so that everyone could listen to Kate's commentary while the flight was in progress. It was a very nice way to watch and enjoy these high altitude flights.
