Ortovox 3 Plus Beacon
Find and check off multiple victims with the Ortovox 3 Plus Beacon’s circular display, which answers your first three questions: which direction, how many people, and how far to them? A user-friendly, all-digital triple-antenna search tool for quick recoveries, the 3 Plus also features Smart Antenna Technology. The first of its kind, the 3 Plus switches between transmitting antennas to maximize signal strength even when you tumble in a slide and change directions.
- In search mode, a simple circular real-time display tells you what direction to search and how far to the victim
- Clear, circular pinpoint search shows you how close you are before you start moving away from the signal
- Easy Mark technology shows the number of victims and lets you pin the signals once found (with a large button below the front display) so you can quickly move onto the next signal
- After 120 seconds of no movement, the beacon switches from search to transmit in case you get buried in a follow-up slide
- Rubberized housing protects against moisture and impact
- Small bag with elastic strap secure the 3 Plus to your body
- Backlit display allows nighttime rescues
- Updatable microprocessor keeps the 3 Plus at the forefront of avalanche beacon technology
Bottom Line: Make yourself safer and increase the chances you can find your buddies with the 3 Plus Beacon.
Leave your mark on The Wall.

A great transceiver for anybody thinking about going into the backcountry. But remember with any transceiver you need to go out and practice with it - before you go out for real. That is the only way you will learn how to use it.

I tested the Ortovox 3 Plus and found it to be very good. Simple to use, takes only one battery, very accurate, light, slim and easy to read and fallow to the victim. Rubber grip is nice for holding, the product is made well.
Cons
The case is nice but I think the zipper should go and be Velcro and a little thicker tougher case for protection as well as the straps a bit wider and better comfort.
Pros
Overall the unit is superior and a great product.
Would definitely recommend
Change me.
