Mammut Pulse Barryvox Avalanche Beacon

Item #MAM0047 | 185 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Great improvement

By Ranked #365 - Avalanche Beacons February 15, 2007

My first try out was at a avalanche training center at Andermatt, Switzerland I was able to test my response time over the older digital Mammut Barryvox, and the signal response was infinitely faster. The ability to shut off signals already found totally eliminates the confusion with multiple burials. With a little practice it's easy even for a beginner. Be careful though when using outside the US though, the Vital status feature is transmitted on a frequency only valid in the area you buy it. Apparently the frequency used by the rest of the world is illegal in the US. (Thank You US Army). But this only applies to the vital status feature, which only works if everyone in your party has a new pulse Barryvox anyway. Otherwise great product!
