Great beacon

This is a great beacon. I was able to try it next to some other brands and personally found the Pieps easier to use, more intuitive, and great for multiple burials. I personally recommend the base model, since I don't have a lot of interest in pulling out my beacon to check the compass, temperature, or altitude when I can use a watch for that. With or without the upgrade, the Pieps is a solid beacon.
