Decent Unit for the PriceIt seems to have a more limited range than some other units, though is still plenty adequate for large searches. I'm not a huge fan of the harness/attachment strap, it seems awkward to use and release when necessary. The unit is also a little heavier than some of the newer smaller units. In the end it works, it'll find someone, and maybe help save lives.
