Best beacon I have used so far

After having to think to solve a multiple burial problem in an avy training, I picked up a Pulse. It has more features and is easier to use then the Pieps. Generally it will find all beacons in range in about 45 seconds. It is generally just a matter of walking, probing and marking. Impressive.

There are a couple quirks. It takes about 45 seconds to find all the beacons in range. I have had this under-report beacons in a multiple burial but never give a false positive. Throwing the beacon in to the mis-named analog mode (I think of it as "tracker" mode) I was able to quickly find the missing beacons. The beacon can get confused if you move to quickly during acquisition. You need to practice with this beacon. If you are willing to it pretty much rocks. More information and less thought then my old Tracker.
