I dabble in both backcountry and skiing and wireless devices, but I'm not an expert on either.
My take on this: these devices should be safe to carry provided the hardware is verified to not produce spurious harmonics (via FCC certification or other means). The 900Mhz band used (in the US) by these radios will not interfere with 457KHz signals used by beacons.
I wouldn't carry it in the same pocket as my beacon, but I would use this device--definitely excited to watch the project's progress.
