I totally disagree with the idea of any sort of electronic detention aid or compulsory standard for outdoor users.
As soon as you introduce something like that you diminish the responsibility of the shooter.
"I didn't get a signal from the aid so I shot him".
"He wasn't wearing the device so it was his fault I shot him".
It is like trying to make hi-vis compulsory for motorcyclists. If you are not wearing it then it is your fault if some dopey driver doesn't see you and kills you.
I am all for making yourself visible and doing anything you feel will increase your chances of being recognised as a person and not game but unless everyone does it (which they won't) and it is fool proof (which it won't be) then all it does is give someone another excuse for NOT IDENTIFYING THEIR TARGET.
