Theoretical Maximum Range ... is the maximum [range] between two [avalanche] transceivers. ... The maximum range can be established by using two transceivers of the same type with new batteries. Find a large flat area such as a football field and place one device on the ground in transmit mode. The other should be set to search mode on maximum gain and the antennas should be parallel. Move away from the device on the ground until the signal disappears. The distance obtained is usually the range indicated by the manufacturer and is usually around 80 meters for analogue devices and somewhat less for digital devices. 1, record 2, English, - theoretical%20maximum%20range

Pour des raisons de concurrence, les fabricants d'ARVA indiquent souvent des portées de recherche trop élevées. La valeur figurant en regard de la rubrique «portée maximale» dans les spécifications techniques est certes mesurable objectivement dans de nombreux cas, mais elle n'est valide que dans des conditions absolument idéales (pas de perturbation dans les environs, émetteur puissant et précis, orientation idéale de l'émetteur et du récepteur, etc.), conditions que l'on ne rencontre guère dans la pratique. 3, record 2, French, - port%C3%A9e%20maximale%20th%C3%A9orique
