For better, or for worse in the winter of 2013/14 the old school Ortovox F1 was discontinued. While the F1 is a tried and true analog single antenna avalanche beacon, all modern beacons are better in nearly ever way. If you have owned an F1 in the past and want something similar because there is nothing quite like it. The closest thing is the Pieps Freeride, a single antenna all digital beacon. Function wise the Freeride is like an automatic car version of the F1 because you don’t have to dial it down, but if you were really stoked on the F1 for its range and simplicity you likely won’t be stoked on the Pieps Freeride. Instead look at the Backcountry Access Tracker 2, the Ortovox Zoom+ or the Ortovox 3+ which are all relatively simple beacons, that will be much easier to use and significantly faster during rescues.
