Ranked #43 - Avalanche Safety
March 16, 2009
this beacon is very good, easy to use reliable and pretty good range. the range isnt as good and the SOS beacons (my favourite is SOS sledbug) but i would deffinately recomend this to anyone who is new to using these. but when your using this when you put it on receive it automaticaly changes back to transmit after a couple minutes so watch out for that.
