I am going to get an avi transceiver

Curious if anyone has one and if so what model you have and is it any good.

At the moment im looking at the Otovox D3 or stretching and getting the Mammut Pulse.

Simplest to use is the BCA tracker....I have one, Paul O can get one for you at a good price with Aussie warranty.

I now import them myself. Check my website.

Mammut Pulse is easy to use. Used by VicPol and SAR services in Victoria. Onre of the great features is being able to distinguish between 2 -3 casualties, lock in on the one you want to go for and allocate different searchers to different victims - where there are multiple casualties involved. I've found it very simple to learn though the harness is not so flash but does the job. I'd recommend the Pulse.

BCA does multiple searches too

Are they available to buy in Australia and if so how much.? I did a bit of a google search they do appear to be good, but most likely around $1,000 in Australia. I think The DTS tracker II will be worth buying when it is released in a few months time also as it will have that extra antennae.

i have bca toooo

[mic2229]

Yeah its a shame the Tracker II has been delayed so long as I would prefer to get a 3 antenna transceiver then a 2 antenna one.

What is the size of the BCA like as I heard it was rather large in terms of transceivers?
