"not so cool" - Review of Pieps DSP Advanced Smart Transmitter

Rating for this product: 1 By LifeLONGBackCountrySkier (13) on February 15, 2008
It works, like all beacons, but has very big issues. I have seen it not be able to find its own kind in a practice run. The smart probe technology seems kind of like a scam, I know I don't want anyone turning off my beacon until my face is sucking in O2s again. And the multiple burial signal blocking or "flagging" would be worth the extra cost if I could tell where that last signal was that I just "blocked". For the price the technology doesn't even come close to the other intelligent beacons, like the incredible Ortovox S1. Peips makes a beacon that works, but better is the beacon that works well for everyone, not just scientists and tech geeky individuals.
