In words

Intro
Incredibly user friendly. This lightweight device has a large, easy-to-read screen and intuitive, easy-to-use buttons (though the one on the front is perhaps a little tricky with thick gloves on). The acoustic signal is different to other transceivers but you soon get used to it. The clasp on the holster is a little stiff, but the robustness of the harness materials deserve a mention. It doesn't have a marking function, but a signal suppression feature, and a lock to avoid accidentally switching from one mode to the other. Software updates are available via the BCA website.
