A most basic, sonic beacon that sounds and blinks for hours!

Construction:
The Pratt Micro-Beacon came with clear instructions and is very easy to use. Looks? What does my wife know, she said it looked like a turd!

Produces a nice loud warble that helps you zero in on a rocket laying in the weeds. I've used it during night launches to help me track models that have landed, covering up their LED systems.

The above review is accurate, the warble sound is not overly loud but is good enough to locate in long grass if you know roughly where the rocket landed. Mass with battery is just under 16g
