Pieps Freeride Avalanche Beacon

Item #LIB0003 | 9 in Stock

My wife & I are only backcountry a couple of times a year...

By Ranked #411 - Avalanche Beacons December 17, 2008

My wife & I are only backcountry a couple of times a year & always in groups of at least 4. Although I know you can't put a price on life, my question is transmitting rather than recieving (you've answered my recieving questions). Is the Freeride just as good as the DSP if I'm the one buried?

Yes, the Freeride transmits similarly if not the same,however, you would not want to be looking for your wife with the Freeride.
