Space age!

By Seth Morrison Ranked #58 - Avalanche Beacons January 31, 2011

I bought this beacon due to the range and multi search functions. Does well on battery life. There are alot of gadgets with in the system that I never use, but could be useful one day. Strap system is ok but could be better as in it slips and you have to re adjust from time to time. Whats really nice is the option to change change time you beacon is searching. So if you were searching then got buried yourself, it reverts back to send signal after it stops moving for the preset time or your set time. Multi search function is very cool. I find you really follow the flux lines in on a search where others bring you in on a straighter line. This is not a negative, its just something you may notice when searching for the first time.
