Which TRANSCEIVER Has the Best RANGE??

We tested 12 avalanche transceivers to find out how their range compares to what's advertised by the manufacturer and to discover which beacon has the farthest signal search range in a real-world test.
To make our test as fair as possible, we tested each transceiver under the same conditions. Some of the results are surprising!
