All these avalanche beacons shown here are for finding people. What do you call the units that send the signal when someone is trapped by an avalance?

Beacons default to a 'transmit' mode when you're wearing them. In the event that someone becomes buried, all non-buried humans then switch their beacons to a 'receive' mode so that a search can be performed. Hope that answers your question and remember: practice practice PRACTICE or these won't do anyone any good!
