Price / Prix: $279.95 The Ortovox F1 Focus is the most widely sold avalanche beacon / avalanche transceiver worldwide. This analog beacon is a long-standing favourite with professionals because of its reliability, ease of use and visual indicator that helps aid in a speedy avalanche rescue.
The analog technique of the Ortovox F1 Focus avalanche beacon is completed by a visual search indicator. The visual indicator helps to shorten the search path, and we all know that every second counts when searching for avalanche victims. The visual indicator is particularly handy for those with less experience using avalanche beacons. The F1 also has a single rotary switch that makes switching from receive to transmit mode easy.
The Ortovox F1 avalanche beacon is waterproof and shock-resistant. Its ergonomic casing has an
earphone connection socket. We highly recommend regular training with
any avalanche beacon before requiring its use in an emergency. An avalanche
transceiver or beacon should be accompanied by a shovel and a probe.
