Pieps DSP Transceiver - REVIEW

  • 2012-02-21 15:01:42

    Pieps DSP TransceiverThe Pieps DSP (Digital Signal Processing) avalanche transceiver is a three-antenna digital transceiver with masking capabilities. At 60 meters the Pieps DSP offers one of the longest maximum ranges on the market which will be instantly appreciated the next time you search. The DSP is full of features but keeps things super simple in the user interface realm. The digital display has 5 directional arrows to point you in the correct direction and will also display numerical distance and the number of signals detected by showing the icon of a buried person. The three antennas make quick work to guide you to the signal source and if you are required to quickly switch back to send in case of a secondary slide simply bump the off/send/search slider and the Pieps DSP goes back into send mode.
