fast multiple searches, crappy strap

By Ranked #437 - Avalanche Beacons November 30, 2007

Yup. For multi burials, I'm much faster with this one than with my Ortovox M2. Will tell you how many tranceivers are out there, and will "ignore" a signal so that you can focus on one at a time. Not much faster or slower than a Tracker for a single beacon search as far as I can tell. But they really flubbed the strap system. You wear this thing in a pouch, crappily strapped to your chest and it is connected to the pouch via a tether when you have it out. Meh.

Yeah, the pouch system isn't great. My friend and I have started carrying ours in a zipped pants pocket, with the tether attached to the inside of the pocket. It works great, and has been a popular way to carry a beacon in Europe for a while now.
