New Transceiver = Ortovox 3+
In December I was at an Ortovox sales/tech rep meeting in Salt Lake City. At this meeting we where shown (and tried it out) the newst Ortovox transceiver. It is called the 3+ and it is an amazing transceiver. Here is the press release that was issued today.
Ortovox Sportartikel GmbH, the technological leader in backcountry safety equipment, will introduce a new avalanche transceiver, the 3+, at the upcoming OR and ISPO shows.
The new 3+ transceiver offers signal analysis and flagging. According to Marcus Peterson, Ortovox USA, "The bar has now been raised as to the minimum technology any new beacon should have." The 3+ has a unique display to show direction and distance, and a hash-mark system for pinpoint search. Its three antennae are supported by ground-breaking transmitter technology and a power management system exclusive to the 3+. All these select features are encapsulated in a new sleek, space-age, shock-resistant case. The 3+ is updatable like the S1 Sensor for any future improvements. This revolutionary beacon offers the best price/performance ratio in the industry.

Can you highlight the differences with the S1?

So does this replace the D3? Fit between the S1 and the D3?

I heard it out-preformed the S1 and the tracker in the trials. Especially during pinpoint searching.

OMG... just heard some details on this thing... SICKNESS. There will be only three beacons on the market worth looking at: S1, 3+, and Pulse.

Hacksaw - Ortovox currently sells 4 models. Will the 3+ replace a current model, or will they be selling 5 different models next season?

The current "Patroller," will go away, and will be "replaced" by the all digital "Patroller Digital." The Patroller Digital is basically the old D3. But, the harness system will change to the older tried and true ribbon style harness that the F1 has always used. Remember the Patroller Digital is a 3 antenna transceiver that has the multiple burial indicator light and that activates its third antenna at three meters instead of 1.5 as other transceivers do, for better pin-pointing. The Patroller Digital will retail for $299.00.
The new 3+ transceiver will retail for $349.00. This is an amazing deal for such an outstanding transceiver.
And the S1 transceiver will retail for $499.00.

Original generation D3 was originally activated at 2m, and my testing seemed to confirm that.
But the latest version activates the third antenna at any distance essentially once the beacon senses that its default two-antenna search algorithm could benefit from a third antenna.Last edited by Jonathan S.; 01-09-2010 at 01:46 PM.
