Jag hittade följande oroande notis om digitala transcievers och påslagna mobiler. De nämner bara Arva 9000 och Ortovox M1. Själv har jag en DTS Tracker som jag ska försöka testa vid tillfälle.
Är det någon som själv kan verifiera att sökningen påverkas?

Digital Avalanche Transceivers affected by mobile phones
A manufacturer's investigation has revealed that the search mode of ARVA
9000 and Ortovox M1 avalanche transceivers can be affected by mobile
phones.
A pisteur died at Pra-Loup on the 25th of December. He was caught and
buried in an avalanche while securing the ski area. His colleague tried
to find him using an ARVA 9000 avalanche transceiver. The ARVA
indicated a direction and distance that were completely incorrect. 50
meters away from where the pisteur was buried. He was later found with
a classic analogue ARVA but too late. Inquiries revealed that the
searcher's portable phone was turned on.
The search facility of ARVA 9000 and also the Ortovox M1 can be affected
by mobile phones that are not turned off. After testing this problem
has been confirmed by the manufacturers. It would also seem that there
is some affect on analogue transceivers. It is recommended that all
mobile phones are switched off when a search is made and it is advisable
to turn off all mobiles while carrying an avalanche transceiver.
