i have used the ortovox collar paired with an old pieps 457 box(analogue) , it works ok but not a patch on the bellman collar with a barryvox box . the ortovox is limited in its use as the newer digital boxes will struggle to recognise the sender(ortovoxes d3 will pick it up) due to the timing of the signal , ortovox didnt design it for terrier use .even though the frequency is 457 the same as all the avalanche equiptment the signal is sent at a different time setting so that it could be differentiated between a buried human and a dog , to save digging to an avalanche buried dog when the priority should be the human . when i upgraded my box to the pulse(digital) it would not pick up the ortovox until i fooled it into working by turning the pieps 457 to send then turning it off , only then would the pulse pick it up . i contacted ortovox as i thought the collar was up it and they explained why. hope this makes sense and helps with your decision
