ok the patroller has three antenna, but that doesnīt mean that the pieps freeride lacks in search, lacks in search in the hands of someone who doesnīt know how to use any type of beacon, I could use a barryvox, but if I donīt know how to use the product it is just like having a 20 year old or 10 year old beacon like my old pieps, which didnīt have digital readout and only the beeping sound with a signal strength indicator, so lets say you could go out with a group of people and if someone has a S1 or a DSP its good enough that with this person they would find you quicker than the Pieps freeride, but let me a sure you that I could find you as quick as a DSP or S1 with this pieps and you could chrono me that in less than 2 min I could find you.
