Looking for 2 beacons

Most of the used beacons out there are the old analog beacons that are hard as hell to use, let alone try and find someone that is burried. If you do find a newer style/digital beacon you will probably spend $240-250. SnowBigDeal.com has brand new beacons with the full warranty and a free shovel or probe for barely more than that.
I have two new Pieps DSP Beacons. Ordered multiples for our group and not all went out west.

A good analog beacon has a lot of range and works well in the hands of a very experienced user. They are harder on batteries and can be confusing to use with multiple burials. The new digital beacons will find the signal from both beacon types and the Pieps can also find the signal from another beacon that has lost calibration and is sending an out of frequency signal.
id look for a bca tracker. very nice unit and affordable
Yes, they should because they run on the same frequency. The primary difference is an analog beacon has only one antenna. Many digital beacons have two antennas so they will "point" to a buried beacon when in the search mode. Several of the better new digital beacons have three antennas which enables them to pinpoint deap burials that will give two locations because of the flux lines when searching with a single or double antenna beacon. This a big advantage for the average user at a time when panic and confusion can cause delays in locating a burial.
Two Beacon, Two shovels, Two Probes

Give me a chance to dig them out of the snowmobile boxes; If I remember correctly one is a Sos and the other is the Pieps? Hell I'm not sure. I will go look and see.
