Pieps DSP Avalanche Beacon
After the introduction to the market in 2003 the Pieps DSP quickly became the preferred beacon for backcountry skiers and rescue professionals. The Pieps DSP combines modern digital search technology with three antennas and a Digital Signal Processor to support the searcher in the most critical situations. Whether you are faced with single or multiple burial situations the Pieps DSP’s unique features make things easy and fast for the searcher.
MULTIPLE BURIALS: The absolute highlight of the Pieps DSP is based on signal separation by the Digital Signal Processor.
OUTSTANDING RANGE: Searching 50 meters in all orientations. True 50M search strip width.
THREE ANTENNA SYSTEM: Extremely accurate for locating victims no matter the position or depth of the buried victim.
SCAN BUTTON: Used for multiple burial situations.
MARK BUTTON: Once you locate the closest victim, use the mark button to isolate the signal and immediately begin searchingfor the next closest victim.
SMART TRANSMITTER: The DSP will transmit its signal in-between the signal of a nearby beacon. No more overlapping signals!
iPROBE COMPATIBLE: With software update 5.0, your DSP is iProbe compatible.
TX600 TRANSMITTER COMPATIBLE: With software update 8.2 your DSP can now search and find the TX600 Dog and Equipment beacon.
SOFTWARE UPDATE: Even if you purchased your DSP back in 2003 you can update it to the latest software without having to buy a new beacon. This also allows for diagnostic testing of the beacon with printable reports on all beacon functions. Software updates are available at authorized Pieps Service Centers. For the location of the nearest service center call Liberty Mountain.
