PSA: Pieps Safety Check

[timmaio]

Just got an email today saying now it's a voluntary recall?

FYI they give a phone number: 866-306-0865 and I was able to talk to a real person within 5 min of calling.
I was calling concerned that my beacon may work today but not work tomorrow(especially important when on a extended trip) but they said that the impacted beacons never worked and that if my beacon works today it will never fail in the manner that the recall addresses.

This check only reinforces my two big dislikes on the pieps/BD... 1) why isnt the "off" in the middle position (the hardest position to slide to) and 2) why doesnt it make some noise (ideally a distinct noise) when turned off? I've since switched to the Arva Neo Pro which is cheaper, much better designed and a lot more range

Dunno about #1. Off -> send -> search makes sense to me, with a lockout in send mode, of course.

So sliding from search (top) to send (middle) shouldn’t require me to move the slide lock to the left, correct?

Correct it only locks in off and send.
