Title: Tiny4FSK - The Cutting-Edge High-Altitude Tracking System

Desc: Come and see Tiny4FSK, an ultra-compact, low-power tracking system to be flown at high altitudes. It uses modern technology and combines it with the long-lasting amateur radio hobby to provide a reliable and lightweight tracking system. As the first 4FSK tracking system designed for amateurs, Tiny4FSK brings features like high transmit rates, forward error correction, and weak signal propagation to the hobby in an open source package.
