The Best Avalanche Beacons: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Ski & Snowboard
Ortovox Diract Voice
The first avalanche beacon with spoken voice navigation, now listed as not available online by Ortovox as a newer voice model takes over.
Why we skip it: Ortovox lists the Diract Voice as not available online and is promoting its new FOCUS Voice transceiver, so this is an outgoing model.

The Best Avalanche Probes: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Ski & Snowboard
Ortovox Probe 240
The cheapest and shortest probe in the Ortovox range, with sparse depth marking and no certification listed on its page.
Why we skip it: At 240 cm it is the shortest in the range, so it reaches less in a deep snowpack.
