It's like cheating

If you really want to find someone fast with no confusion, this is the beacon. Skip the compass,temp and alt, if you want to save money but don't buy a beacon without three antenna's. The Orto S1 might have a chance at topping this if they had only put in three antenna. (I think they did not have space and by the time they figured out the real advantages of three antenna in completely eliminating false maximas they did not have room so they came out with the d3 and the patroller which are limited in multiple burials and range) The next closest competitor is the Mammut if it only had better range. It says 60 meters but I often get morning range checks into the 80's.
