Measurements of radial velocities taken with a correlation spectrometer and previously published observations are used to determine the spectroscopic orbit for the red dwarf with a very active chromosphere Gliese 171.2A = V833 Tau. The orbital period is determined to be P = 1.787979 d, the half amplitude of the radial velocity is calculated to be K1 = 10.32 km/s, and the velocity of the center of the mass is 35.19 km/s. The rotational velocity is found to be V sin i = 6.3 km/s, which gives an orbital inclination of 11-23 deg and the mass of the secondary component is estimated to be (0.14-0.33) solar mass.
