Bryan 1,362 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 can only be a good thing, PIEPS are now making a transmitter. The Pieps TX600 is a miniature transmitter for dogs and other equipment (like that pricy sled) that might be buried by an avalanche, but which should never interfere with the search for humans. The TX600 transmits 1 kHz below the frequency used by avalanche transceivers, so it will not be received when searching for an avalanche transceiver. The Pieps DSP (with the version 8.2 update), and the upcoming Pieps Vector, can be toggled into a special mode where they will then search for this off-frequency signal. http://patrollersupply.com/equipment/item_3643.asp Quote Link to post

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 The price on the site is for the collar and transmitter, it doesn't include the box you use above ground. Quote Link to post
