摘要

System has a transmitter (S) for transmission of a rescue signal on a standard snow emergency frequency, so that it can be detected with commercially available avalanche search devices for finding buried people. The transmitter operates independently with its own power supply. The emitter is enclosed in a compact housing (K) that can be safely put inside some item of clothing, e.g. a glove.
