Choosing A Rescue Beacon

Are you looking for a beacon or satellite communicator?  Are looking to upgrade?

I am a happy SPOT 2 user.  It works well for me and I have used it under many types of conditions.  Last spring, I did a formal riew for the online magazine Seattle Backpackers Magazine.

That said, the folks at The Outdoor Gear Lab have done a very comprehensive review:
