Ortovox M2 Avalanche Transceiver
Nobody wants to be in this situation but the Ortovox M2 Avalanche Transceiver will find your buried A**. By using a method of signal isolation it can locate avalanche survivors within a range of up to 50m. This is the most recommended model and has been thoroughly tested by science researchers. With a built in micro processor and analogue and digital search system. The Ortovox takes 2 double A batteries and is very resourceful when it comes to energy.
The unit will last on receive mode for up to 40 hours and when transmitting will remain on for 300 hours plus. The avalanche victim must be outfitted with his own M2 in order for the transmitters to communicate. The on and off switch is conveniently located on the body belt that comes standard with the device. These things are a life saver and if your planning an expedition and your concerned about avalanche safety it would be wise to be prepared.
