Product Info for Ortovox 3+ Avalanche Transceiver

The 3+ is a three-antenna device with a special extra function to first enhance your own safety. The intelligent position recognition system analyzes the position of the antennas and automatically switches to the optimal transmitting antenna. There is no longer any such thing as the 'worst position'. The circular display lets you focus on the essentials. The distance to and the relative position of a victim. Always align the device to the arrow. The solid arrow and the central distance value keep you going in the right direction. The 3+ allows you to maintain an overview even with multiple burials. The number of victims is shown in the display. As soon as you have found the first one you can blend out their signal with the pin key. The victim is displayed as pinned and you can immediately continue with your search.image

This is a great beacon. For the past few years, I've been using a BCA Tracker, and I've become concerned about it's range/functioning capability. Because of that, I read many reviews and decided to pick up the Ortovox 3+. A few features that sold me were the 3-antenna and the flagging feature (you know, for multiple burials). Though I hope I never have to use the multiple buria...

The 3+ from Ortovox is fast and easy to use. This beacon has the ability to flag in the event of multiple burials and the feature are streamlined and intuitive. One of the things I really like about the 3+ is that it has everything you need and not a lot of extra ‘bells and whistles’ that you don’t need. As an avalanche safety educator, I spend a lot of time with beacons, and t...

This transceiver is a wonderful tool. It's easy to use and has great safety features. I was crushing the balls off of a gnarly line out in the Elks range and got myself buried after a slide occurred. My partner found me right away with his 3+ and got me out. Couple months later I had just finished a tasty shred when I saw a group of front rangers get taken out above me. I climb...

I'm not sure of the version but it is the most current. We had the green in stock, but it just sold. We should restock all beacons in 3-4 weeks. Sorry.
