Oooops my bad. I thought you were asking about Bacon.:face-icon-small-win

Never used that Beacon

The Pieps Opti 457 is an analog beacon, so by default it is not as user friendly as the new digital beacons. If you get out and practice with it a bunch, you will be able to learn how to use it, but you will need to learn how to search using the grid pattern rather than following a flux line with a digital beacon. I highly recommend going with a digital beacon.

Did someone say bacon?
