The Ortovox F1 Focus is the leader in analog technology as well as the best selling avalanche beacon in history. Digital beacons took over the "less experienced users market" but the F1 is a long-standing favorite with professionals because of its reliability and simplicity.
The analog technology of the Ortovox F1 avalanche beacon is completed by a visual search indicator. The visual indicator helps to shorten the search times by giving you clear visual signals.
The visual indicator is particularly handy for those with less experience using avalanche beacons.
However, we recommend checking out digital beacons such as: Ortovox D3 and Backcountry Access Tracker DTS for beginners or those with less avalanche rescue experience. These newer avalanche beacons can be used for searching with minimal practice.
The F1 also has a single rotary switch that makes switching from receive to transmit mode easy.
We highly recommend regular training with
any avalanche beacon before requiring its use in an emergency rescue situation. An avalanche
transceiver or beacon should always be accompanied by a quality shovel and probe.
