Last year, Pieps introduced the first all-digital triple-antenna beacon, and this year's DSP Smart Transmitter returns largely unchanged, but with a more intuitive button layout that's easier to operate with gloves on. Digital technology in the DSP allows for quick, precise pinpointing of the strongest signal among multiple burials, and the triple antenna increases reliable detection range out to 60 meters, with direction indication starting at 50 meters. Once the first buried beacon is found and marked, a simple button press blocks the signal and moves to the next one, reducing the chances of interference and saving valuable minutes. SCAN mode indicates distance to multiple signals from a single location. The DSP for 07 / 08 is also compatible with Pieps' new Smart Probe technology, and can receive software updates from Pieps every year.

'I had an opportunity to review the top six brands of beacons for Skiing Magazine...I definitely didn't anticipate the Pieps DSP to be such a clear winner in almost every category!' - Backcountry.com athlete,
