| The brand new, one-of-a-kind Ortovox X1 is a hybrid avalanche beacon that combines the most positive aspects of digital and analog signal reception for fast and efficient searching. Namely, when you initiate your search, the beacon is in analog mode which has a superior range to digital, in this case 60m. Once you're within 10m of a signal, the beacon automatically switches to digital mode, locks on the signal, and has three bright direction arrows that tell you which way to move. This means you'll have a more direct search path and shorter search time. The strap is super comfortable and designed not to be lost. Other beacons cost a bit more because they are specialized for either digital or analog operation and perform better than the X1 in these respective modes, but the X1 is an excellent beacon for its price and a 5 year warranty. |
Ortovox X1 Avalanche Beacon |
Bottom Line: This is a new breed of transceriver that mixes analog AND digital technology for fast, user-friendly searching. |
Reviews:
A rescue can be carried out quickly.
I am esteeming the reliability of Ortovox Beacon. Although Ortovox F1 Beacon was used, as for me, it turns out immediately that Ortovox X1 Avalanche Beacon is excellent. The reason is that a beginner can also do within 5 minutes as for rescue.
Effective in quick and exact rescue.
Our mountaineering club is considering F1-focus as the standard equipment. The member who owns X1 has rescued early more certainly than those who use F1-focus in the Avalanche rescue training.
It is easy to use.
Although SOS-N1-ND was used before, X1 tended to look for a target. I think that it is good for using for the first time. I don't want to meet avalanche!!!
