Abstract: The standardized frequency for avalanche transceivers, 457 kHz, presents many interesting, important, and confusing issues, especially related to receive range, flux lines, near field, interference, point sources, receiver design, searching, and specifying and measuring transmit power and receive range. Improved standards and the possible addition of a higher frequency will help in providing a sophisticated, yet uncomplicated beacon in the future for the expeditious rescue of avalanche victims.
