Excellent beacon

By zoltan korossy Ranked #19 - Avalanche Beacons January 26, 2009

These beacons were really solid starting with the 5.0 firmware update, and between the flagging and scanning functions can handle multiple burials very well. The three antenna design resolves spikes without any issue. It's very simple to use, and I like to think of it as the three antenna version of the tracker for it's simplicity and easy of use. The new carrying pouch it comes with is the most comfortable one I've ever used, but it can be hard to get out until the fabric stretches out a bit from use. The range is exception for a digital beacon, and its handling of worst case orientation of the transmitting beacon is the best out there. Like with any beacon regular practice is a must, but this is the beacon I currently use.
