Two things
1. Fewer buttons than there are functions. If you press a button for two seconds it does one thing. If you press the same button for three seconds it does something else. (Or something like that, certainly different functions for the same button depending how long you press it for. I can't really remember, but that's the point.)
2. Signal does not get out to base station unless it's in REALLY open country. Light tree cover will stop it.

And you have to use the right sort of AA batteries. Duracels or rechargables will cause problems apparently.

So it's too hard to use and it's unreliable. Otherwise it's fine. Nice orange colour so it's hard to loose.

Actually it's excellent, anybody want to buy it?
