Ortovox started developing avalanche transceivers in 1980 with the introduction of the Ortovox F2. The first double frequency rescue beacon used to search for people buried in an avalanche.
In 1994 Ortovox introduced the F1 avalanche beacon which quickly became the industry standard rescue beacon and is still the favotite of many backcountry enthusiasts, guides, and ski patrol professionals.
Ortovox has been building industry leading avalanche beacons for over 25 years and their latest rescue beacon, the S1 Sensor, uses groundbreaking technology. |

Ortovox Beacons tech advisor tip
Using the audio features for analogue rescue beacons like the M2, F1, and Patroller:
Holding the beacon up to your ear, pointing the back of the beacon towards your search path, and moving slightly left to right with your head and beacon will allow you to HEAR THE VICTIM a bit earlier. This will also allow you to hear MULTIPLE VICTIMS a bit sooner and more clearly. You are still getting the same range as the long antennae works on the major axis in the same manner...this is helpful as we rarely carry earphones..and they are a pain to use. |
