Way too complecated to use

By CrazyDrei Ranked #225 - Avalanche Beacons January 5, 2010

Great beacon on paper however as with all the toys our lives depend on practice and familiarity with equipment is more important than manufacturer specs. The extra functions like the altimeter and the compass will keep most entertained for hours but not too practical in the fiend. This is the best beacon for multiple burials. The DSP isolates known victims better than any other beacon. Once you are within 2 meters of the victim the beacon goes in to a purely distance search mode without directional arrows, very accurate however time consuming almost always requiring the use of a probe(even more time consuming). I use this beacon at work but would would NEVER EVER use it or let my friends use it when I am not working. My Tracker is far superior in user friendliness and speed compared to the DSP when I am playing out of uniform.
