Great beacon and pros use it

By Ranked #569 - Avalanche Beacons March 22, 2005

It is amazingly fast and easy as a beginner to find single burial. Not only as a beginner but pros use it too. The guys of TGR (Teton Gravity Research) used it when making Soul Purpose. People like Jeremy Jones and Victoria Jealous used it. SO it’s simply the best out there right now.

There is a reason why this is the beacon you see most in the field. It is easy to use, relatively small, and has proven itself extremely effective. The battery power put into number when you first turn it on is a huge plus for me as I'm usually careless. I uckily have not had to use this in a survival situation, but from doing multiple beacon tests each season I can say that this beacon is a ton easier than some others (Ortovox?)
