I want something that will allow rescuers to find him. Do all beacons come with the locator feature? What type of batteries do they use? Is $289 the lowest price unit? <br />Thanks for your help!!!<br /> question_4698 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:07:05 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/ORT0050/Ortovox-S1-Avalanche-Transceiver.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_1784#question_1784 Ortovox S1 Avalanche Transceiver<br /><br />How would the electronic compass, temperature, and inclinometer make your search more accurate as stated in the description? <br /><br />Sure, those features can be quite useful for avoiding the need to do a search in the first place, bug I'd certainly hope any partners I was skiing with would not be monkeying around with them if the worst happened and I was caught and buried by a slide. question_1784 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:52:57 GMT
