Three antennas, and the range the maker publishes · review
The best-documented listing on the shelf, sold second-hand, with no price in any of the six stores.
The bottom line Everything a transceiver listing should publish, attached to the one thing a transceiver should not be: second-hand and unpriced.
Seven figures. Nothing else on this shelf publishes three.
gebraucht. Used.
A transceiver spends eleven months a year in a drawer and is trusted on the twelfth. What decides whether it can be is its history, and none of it is published here:
This site does not confirm or deny a test, and no test of this unit is quoted. It also does not tell anyone what to buy. What it can do is name the questions, and those are the questions.
None. Germany, the United States, Britain, France, Italy and Spain all list the reference; none of the six quoted a price when this page was written.
That this device works, or that it does not. It reports a well-written specification attached to a second-hand rescue device with no stated history, and leaves the decision where it belongs.
Six shops asked, six came back empty: nobody was selling it when this shelf was read.
On the shelf, off the market: the German, American, British, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon shops carry the reference with no seller attached to it.

This page will not tell anyone what to buy, and it will say what the listing does not. It does not state the age of the unit, the firmware version, whether the battery contacts have corroded, whether the case has been dropped, or whether it has ever been through the maker’s service. A transceiver is checked before it is relied on; a listing cannot do that check, and neither can this page.
The European standard that defines the 457 kHz avalanche transceiver signal, so that devices from different makers find one another. This is the only listing on the shelf that names it, and this site has a page explaining it.
That the maker states a searcher can sweep a 50 m band in one pass, derived from a stated maximum range of 60 m. It is a manufacturer figure, measured under conditions the listing does not describe, and it is the only such figure on this shelf.
Nobody, on the strength of this listing alone — see the question below

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
