Smitty, this will "play" with analog beacons as well. The people who build these beacons want you to be able to find your friends, so they build them to be compatible with all beacons. The difference is the way that the information is transmitted to the user. However, if you still have doubts, take you analog beacon to a shop and bring some batteries, turn them both on and see what happens.
