Hjälmkamera påverkar transcieversignal
"Quick warning for Transceiver users.
There is potential interference from a Go Pro camera and any modern digital avalanche transceiver.
I noticed it when testing an Ortovox Zoom, although it also affects the Tracker 2 and no doubt other brands.
The problem occurs when searching and bringing the camera within 30-40cm of the transceiver. This naturally occurs when the Go pro is on a chest mount or on your head.
Basically you will get erratic behaviour from the transceiver which in a rescue situation will confuse you and be potentially life threatening.
It's well known the impact mobile phones can have but you also need to be aware of cameras.
So our advice is to turn off any such devices before you search. We don't want any head cam footage of real life searchers getting confused.
See the below video for a brief 2 minute demo of the issue.

Att saker och ting kan påverka signalerna har diskuterats många gånger på forumet, främst telefoner, men hur är det med övrig utrustning?
Själv har jag rätt ofta med mig transciever, telefon, hjälmkamera, radio och eventuellt en mp3-spelare. Hur mycket stör egentligen annan utrustning? Nu framgår det inte riktigt om han har wifi igång på den aktuella kameran men det känns inte som att någonting som inte sänder ut signaler kan störa transcievern?
