Beacon Advice... was created by thatoneguydave
Hey Gang. Looking for some advice for a new beacon. My old one decided to fall apart over the summer due to battery corrosion and such and I need a new one. I'm not an expert on what is out there or what's the latest and greatest so I thought it would be best to reach out to the community.

Any thoughts or advice on a new beacon?

Thanks.

David

FWIW Pieps DSP Sport is rated 5 stars and is $275 vs 4.5 stars and $335 for the Tracker 3. The Mammut Pulse also earns a 5 star rating -- but is $490.

Forum ate my post. :(

Second vote for the Pieps DSP. And if you're going to compare a few in-person before you buy, try their multiple burial options; most beacons are "about the same" for a single burial, but the really good ones quickly rise to the top when you've got more than 1 signal to search for.
