BEST FOR: More experienced users looking for advanced features.
The Pieps DSP (digital signal processor) is a 100% digital, 3 antenna avalanche transceiver.
When the DSP detects a sigmal it gives the approximate distance to the victim and the direction in which the searcher needs to turn. By following this constantly updating information a rescue can easily be accomplished.
In this respect it is similar to other digital transceivers, but has a greater range then other digital units tested and was in fact similar to analogue units.
The Pieps DSP also offers more advanced features for multiple burial situations. The DSP displays an icon for each different signal received (1, 2, 3 and 3+). It will lock onto the strongest signal and guide you to that victim. You can then mark the signal and the DSP will ignore
it and allow you to move onto searching for the next victim, leaving others to dig up the person you have already found. The DSP also has a scan function which will tell you how many signals it receives at various distances, e.g.
the number of victims within 5 meters, the number of victims within 20 meters and the number of victims within 50 meters.
It should be remembered that these extra features are valuable extra tools for an experienced searcher, but they could also confuse somebody who is not familar with their use.
This beacon is not aimed at the once a year user who has not done any practise.
Uses 3 AAA batteries.
Weight 198g including batteries
Includes holster style body strap. The Pieps DSP can also be used without the strap and clipped somewhere by it's short elastic lanyard. A good feature for tourers who do not want to wear a body strap.
We are stocking the latest version of the DSP, which has Firmware version 5.0
