Im not sure we are talking about the same thing, but I remember a unit you could tag onto the anchor line ( near the anchor) and later find that beacon with the one you were carrying...
I never bought one, wish I had...it would be SO DAMN NICE to be able to locate where the anchor is and follow the rode to the surface ( and the boat!)
Is what you are looking at what I am talking about????
