The easiest
to use transceiver for both single and multiple burial
situations. The very intuitive transmit/search toggle
switch leaves no question as to what mode you're in.
The wide 40M search strip range helps speed initial
signal acquisition by significantly increasing the
amount of area covered by the transceiver. The 3rd
antenna automatically turns on 10M from the acquired
signal to provide a more accurate pinpoint search
and eliminate search spikes. The multiple victim indicator
alerts the user when the beacon detects more than
one signal, and the Evo3's marking function allows
users to block out one signal in order to focus on
searching for a 2nd signal. The fast 16 bit microprocessor
provides real time distance and direction information
which results in directional indicators keeping pace
with the searcher's movements, thereby reducing confusion
commonly caused by delayed indicators pointing in
the wrong direction. The automated system check ensures
the transceiver is functioning properly, checking
for frequency drift, battery & transmission power
every 2 minutes of operation. The Evo3 also maintains
a constant signal strength regardless of battery power.
High visibility directional indicators and a backlit
display make the Evo3 easy to read. For those who
want the simplest, easiest to use beacon when seconds
matter most, go with the Evo3.

"The
Evo3 is a lot of beacon - 3 antennae, multiple burial
indicator, masking function, 40 meter search-strip -
for the money, an excellent value. One tester concluded,
"I'm liking this one - good audio, effective on
multiples. I'm going to buy one"" - Backcountry |

The 3axes adds
analog capabilities to the Evo3's outstanding capabilities,
which significantly extends the beacon's search range
and adds greater versatility. A multiple victim indicator
alerts the user to multiple burial signals. One can
mark off the 1st signal located and move on to searching
for the next closest burial. The long 60M search range
(in analog mode) combined with a wide search strip
width of 40M results in the 3axes covering more territory
at once yielding a substantially quicker initial location
of a victim's signal. A 3rd antenna automatically
turns on 10M from the acquired signal to provide a
more accurate pinpoint search and eliminate search
spikes. High visibility LED directional indicators
and a very intuitive search switch make the 3axes
easy to use, even in limited visibility conditions.
The ultra fast 16 bit microprocessor provides real
time information, eliminating display lag and keeping
directional and distance indicators on pace with user
movements. The automated system test ensures adequate
battery and transmission power + checks for frequency
drift every 2 minutes of operation. The 3axes beacon
also maintains a constant transmission strength throughout
the battery life. The 3axes has a 600 denier holster
that facilitates removing the beacon for a search
while remaining strapped to the user. The 3axes, for
the experienced user who needs an easy to use, full
featured beacon with the ability to do analog searches.

"For
those who want an avy beacon with a fast response time,
optional analog mode, decent range and three antennas
to overcome spikes when you are in pinpoint range, the
3axes is a good choice. The beauty of the Arva is the
speed and precision of the display, especially as you
get closer. Most triple antenna digital beacons employ
some form of signal averaging that can dramatically
slow pinpointing. This lag time is absent with the 3axes,
allowing fast pinpoint victim location. For old timers
familiar with analog function, you can also switch to
analog mode for superior precision and gridding speed.
This is the only three antenna digital avy beacon that
also offers analog mode" - Backcountry |

The most technologically
advanced beacon available. The 3 antenna analog/digital
Arva Link features wireless networking on the W-Link
868mHz frequency in addition to broadcasting a locational
signal on the standard 457mHz international frequency.
With wireless communication the Link can read pulse
detection signals on buried victims who have compatible
W-Link beacons. W-Link beacons can also triangulate
search signals to improve initial search times by
communicating with other 868mHz compatible beacons.
The Link's ultra fast 32bit M3 Cortex processor eliminates
display lag even while processing data from 3 antennas
during the final search phase. The Hi-resolution 128x128
pixel LCD screen offers both distance and 360 degree
directional information in addition to a multiple
burial and W-Link compatibility indicators. The Link's
processor uses a DSP algorithm for multi-burial situations
which isolates and then blocks out the signals from
located victims to facilitate continued searching
for still buried victims. When combined with wireless
networking the Link offers the most advanced multi-burial
functionality. An electromagnetic compass provides
aspect information and navigational assistance. The
complete automated system check verifies battery power,
transmission strength and frequency every five minutes
of operation. The link also has an automated group
check feature which simplifies trail head testing
of beacons.

"The
Link can share information with other transceivers that
support the W-Link "standard" (i.e., other
Pulse and Link transceivers). This will allow the searchers
to know if the victims have any movement and, it is
planned, to allow for improved accuracy determining
the location and number of victims. This is a revolutionary
concept, that the searching beacons can share information
with each other, creating a "computer network"
to improve the search." - Beaconreviews.com |
