Avalanche Transceivers

Avalanche transceivers are devices used in avalanche safety gear, primarily by skiers and snowboarders in mountainous regions. They emit a continuous radio signal that allows rescuers to locate individuals buried under snow during an avalanche. When a person is caught in an avalanche, they can activate their transceiver, which then sends out a signal to help rescuers pinpoint their location. Similarly, rescuers also wear transceivers to receive these signals, making it easier to find and assist those in need quickly. Their effectiveness depends on proper usage, making training and understanding key for safe outdoor adventures.
