In a nutshell, single antenna. Thus no direction indicators to help in finding a burial, spikes in the signal, etc. Try this site for a good overview of the transceiver: http://beaconreviews.com/transceivers/Specs_PiepsFreeride.htmThis is "better then nothing", but I would not want you to tour with me if you only had this.
