Ortovox D3 is very easy to use, making it the perfect avalanche beacon for any beginner. The D3 has the best price/performance ratio of all beacons on the market. It is a fully digital, triple antenna beacon, with a multiple burial indicator. Its search range is 40 meters.
The Ortovox D3 has a fast microprocessor that makes full use of
its 3-antenna technology. The search results are relayed quickly and
precisely to the user.
The D3's signals are displayed as both units of
distance (meters) and as directional arrows. Distance readings are
displayed by 2 numeric LED's. Directional readings by way of three easy
to read LED arrows.
Both sets of digital displays are easy to read even
under poor weather conditions and the pressures of an avalanche rescue.
When using any beacon a phenomenon known as "dead spots" can occur
during the pinpointing of a buried victim. In these dead spots a beacon
receives usable signals. The triple antenna technology of the Ortovox
D3 almost completely eliminates dead spots and the user always receives
a clear signals from the buried avalanche beacon.
One of the primary causes of
dead spots occurs when a beacon is buried at a vertical angle. The
triple antenna technology works no matter what orientation the victim's
avalanche beacon is situated.
The Ortovox D3 operates on the world-wide standardized frequency of 457 kHz and
is compatible with all other avalanche beacons. It
requires only two easily available AA batteries to work.
Ortovox D3 users also like the Backcountry Access Tracker DTS beacon.
