The Pocket Calculator vs. the Slide Rule

By hank.wisse1360403 Ranked #43 - Avalanche Safety March 28, 2008

Before pocket calculators I used a slide rule to make mathematical calculations. Once you learned how to use one of these devices,the more you practiced the quicker you got results. The same can be said of previous avalanche beacons. The S1 did for me what the calculator did compared to my slide rule. In a search I get more accurate results and I get them faster.
When it comes to life and death and time is of the essence, accuracy and speed are what I want from a beacon. The S1 delivers. This device is great but there is no substitite for practice.
