Ortovox 3+ Avalanche Beacon 2017-2018
The 3+ is an intuitive avalanche transceiver that can be relied upon by backcountry beginners and experts alike. A standout feature of this product is its ability to understand its particular orientation (horizontal, vertical, etc.) and subsequently broadcast from the optimal antenna plane to provide the best possible signal. Furthermore, the 3+ features a giant central screen that can display up to three targets during a multiple burial situation and shows “4+” if this unfortunate circumstance arises. A flagging button helps to mark found signals, expediting the search for additional transmissions.
