haha. This is fully functional for sure. It does not have all the fancy shit but works just as well as any beacon. I believe a lot of older backcountry guys use ones like this because they don't want all the new stupid features. (I think I saw someone post somewhere: "whats next? something where we can text the person who is buried under an avalanche?" Not direct quote but something like that. If the beacon did not work 100% I would not sell it. I dont want to be responsible for a death because of beacon failure. lol. I found it cheap for a friend who ended up didnt want it. Can pass the deal on to you, if not its not a big deal, hopefully I can then pass it on to a future backcountry partner in college.
fuck thats long. my bad.
