Smart, Fast and easy to use makes the 3+ one of the finest mid range transceivers available

the Ortovox 3+ is a three antenna device that has a special function to enhance your own safety and also the safety of your friends. On normal transceivers, there can be a bad position when the transceiver is laid in a particular position due to the angle of which the signal is being broadcast. On the 3+, the intuitive system can work out when the beacon is not transmitting along the best signal and switch its broadcast automatically. This means that when you are the person who is buried, it no longer matters if you are upside down or back to front, you will get found! You also get a digital display showing you the distance from burial sites when in search mode. The 3+ is also 100% compatible with every beacon on the market.

You get found
The 3+ is a three-antenna device with a special extra function to first enhance your own safety. The intelligent position recognition system analyses the position of the antennas and automatically switches to the optimal transmitting antenna. There is no longer any such thing as the 'worst position'.

You find faster
The circular display lets you focus on the essentials. The distance to and the relative position of a victim. Always align the device to the arrow. The solid arrow and the central distance value keep you going in the right direction.

You find more exactly
The patented circular display shows you at a glance whether you are getting closer to the signal or moving away from it. With the precise distance value you can very effectively determine the distance to the buried victim and limit the area to be probed.

You find more victims
The 3+ allows you to maintain an overview even with multiple burials. The number of victims is shown in the display. As soon as you have found the first one you can blend out their signal with the pin key. The victim is displayed as pinned and you can immediately continue with your search.

Safety features:
Smart antenna technology enhances your own safety. Signal separation with pinning function.
Very easy operation due to: clear control elements, precise real time display with directional arrows and circular display. Rubberized housing for protection and ergonomics. Display lighting for night searches, switchover in case of a follow-up avalanche, clear and optimized search acoustics, updateability.


"The Ortovox 3+ is quite simply a great transceiver, regardless of your experience level. The lack of gimmicks means that Ortovox have created a unit that is simple to use, and highly effective whether searching for single or multiple avalanche victims. Every single detail has been well designed, from the comfortable harness, to the single battery, and the easy to use buttons. I would not hesitate to recommend this transceiver to anyone, whether novice or expert. This is destined to become very popular."
