Time to upgrade the old sos beacons...... Thinking of the pieps dsp 8.2v

Summitric · Oct 23, 2012

Looking at upgrading our sos beacons to the new pieps dsp 8.2v ...... Anyone have feedback on these units? I know zachs trax recomends them, anyone else

teeroy · Oct 23, 2012

anything digital is better than the old analogue SOS. I would think if Zach and Lori say the pieps is good stuff then you're set

Here is a link to some ratings that might help you.

At 88/100 it seems OK but if your rescuing me I'd like 100/100...just saying

Mines the worst in the group......perhaps its time to upgrade as well.

MATTIAC · Oct 23, 2012

I've got the ortovox and everyone in my group buying them. Great unit easy to use

Summitric · Oct 23, 2012

Can get the pieps dsp 8.2v for $349, and the ortovox s1+ for $379 ......... Hmmmm, decisions

MATTIAC · Oct 23, 2012

sorry mine is the ortovox s3, not the s1 triple antenna

$25.00 difference - your probably that guy who won't pay to use groomed trails....cheepo....lol
They are both way better than what your using, I'd feel better, seeing as we ride together so much, just to have the latest technology.
Just Do It.

Guess I need to get mine back from Ron.

agreed... our SOS Beacons are old, and do need upgraded.... might not be immediately but they will be done.

imdoo'n · Oct 23, 2012

i still have the string tied between 2 cans, should be good to go. besides if yer bud wants you to save his life, shouldn't he be buying you the beacon? just an observation.

do you wear your beacon while riding around edmonton?

Can't blame him or considering - according to BMO prices on the average are 14% less than Canada.

Summitric · Oct 23, 2012
