Mark, This beacon transmits and receives on the international standard frequency of 457 kHz as a transceiver, so it will work worldwide and with any other beacon. It has a second signal on a different frequency that transmits the vital signs data (W-link). This is straight from the Mammut website: "Aside from the standard signal frequency used by all avalanche transceivers, the PULSE Barryvox® is equipped with an additional communications channel (W-Link). Varying regulations in different countries prohibit the use of one unique frequency worldwide for this purpose. For this reason, we offer two different preconfigured device versions; one for the European region (EU version), the other for North America and Oceania (US version). The only difference between the two versions is the preconfigured W-Link frequency. This does not affect the standard signal of the avalanche transceiver, and the devices are 100% compatible with other avalanche transceivers." So that means that: 1. The Australia/New Zealand version and US version are the same 2. ONLY the vital signs data is transmitted on varying frequencies

The ones sold by this website are the U.S. version. So they will not work with those other frequencies.
