Description
The Ortovox 3 avalanche transceiver not only delivers excellent search capabilities but also features an innovative function designed to make it easier for rescuers to find victims wearing the 3. 3 has the ability to analyze its vertical orientation when buried and transmit its signal on the transmitting antenna best positioned for searchers to pick up a signal.

Pinpoint search features semicircles around the edge of the screen that indicate whether you are getting closer to or farther away from the signal. Compatible with all standardized avalanche beacons operating on the 457 kHz frequency. Adjustable harness with case keeps the unit secure and accessible. Operates on 1 alkaline AA battery.
