My F1 wasn't that reliable. It stopped working after about 3 years of moderate use. Took it to a dealer, who wanted me to pay them £20 to return it to Ortovox. Took it to a different dealer who returned it for me. Nearly a year later, after a lot of chasing, the shop admitted they had no idea what had happened to my F1 and gave me a brand new M2, which has been fine ever since.

it's just arrived, brand new in a box. So, many thanks to BCA and their agent Gecko Supply for sorting that out speedily.

of course I can use any of them, but I chose to use to use a Tracker by way of a recommendation. An F1 still has about the greatest receive range though, maybe 30 metres greater than a Pulse or DTS


As an update, we now have two new Mammut Pulses in the kit larder which are the weapons of choice right now.
