The Evo 5 capitalizes on Arva’s 35 year expertise to fit in the palm of your hand. With a 50 M search strip width, group check, marking function, auto revert to transmit mode, the Evo 5 is jam packed with all of the essential functions needed to rescue an avalanche victim.
How does it keep you safe? When you turn the Evo 5 on, it stays on. The shut off involves pushing a button in and then sliding the arm into the off position. Then it requires you to push the flag marker to confirm this in the next 5 seconds or the transceiver will remain in send mode.
