The advantage of a digital beacon is you can get the same search time with less practicing. I prefer skiing to practicing.

 

M1's are nice. I like the emergency transmit button.

I don't think the M-1 really counts as a digital beacon, not in the modern sense of the word.

Ditto, which is why I bit the bullet and bought the Barryvox (can you say alliteration? hellno3d.gif ).

I've only played with one a little - I consider it digital because it has the directional arrows, and more importantly, takes less practice than an F1 or Pieps 457. But compared to a Barryvox or M2, no.
