Ortovox 3+
£259.00
- Best For:
- All Users
The Ortovox 3+ is a fully automatic 3 antenna digital transceiver with digital signal masking. The 3+ is as simple as possible with only one button that can be used in search mode and that is only needed in a limited scenario (multiple victims, multiple diggers). Sensitivity adjustment is automatic, and 5 arrows with distance offer directional information during the search to keep the searcher on track.
Search Mode
The 3+ has only one mode using the full array of digital processing tools. To put the 3+ in search mode, the two buttons on the top of the transceiver are pushed apart and the button pops up. In search mode the 3+ will display a course search graphic if no signal is received or show the number of transceivers (1,2,3 or 4+) and the distance and direction to the strongest signal.
As you approach the victim the 3+ increases the volume and frequency of the beeps to keep you moving in the right direction. Under 3 metres the 3+ uses a circular illustration to make pinpointing easier. The 3+ offers digital signal masking so that the signal can be eliminated after probe location, freeing up the searcher before the shovellers have extracted the victim.
Smart Antenna
When in transmit mode the 3+ will select it's transmitting antenna (from the 3 available) to optimise it's own detection. This will maximise the range at which the 3+ is detected if you are buried.
About You
If you like your electronic gizmos simple and menu free then the 3+ will suit you.

Ortovox 3+ Review
Reviewer: Michaela Butt, Shellwood Road Leigh Surrey (24-4-2012)
Amazing Transceiver, I actually bought this thinking it has so many features, it will be great once I really got to know it! However both my kids 15 & 12 found it very simple to use? So much so they beat us adults hands down every time and we were using beeps that are very basic and simple to use on their first practice in the Avalanche park!
Ortovox 3+ Review
Reviewer: Mark Purnell, Oslo (19-3-2012)
This is an excellent transceiver. It is very simple to use in both modes, runs on AA batteries and the firmware is upgradable. I did a lot of research before purchasing a transceiver and opted for this brand and model for pure ease of use and reliability. The unit itself is very comfortable and comes with a chest pouch/harness.
Ortovox 3+ Review
Reviewer: Nicholas Cutter, Petworth (12-1-2011)
This is my first Transceiver and I have only played with it in the garden with other transceivers.
I have found it remarkably easy to use, very clear display, good size and fits well and comfy against the body. Features I really like are the multiple burial marker, very easy and also the fact it only takes one AA battery and therefore carrying a spare is no problem.
I will update if I have to use it in anger or after the Canadian Avi course I am booked on.
