Why We Like The Barryvox Beacon
We backcountry skiers and splitboarders should know beacons like we know the back of our gloves, so Mammut designed the Barryvox Beacon with an incredibly intuitive design so we can master it quickly. It features a single switch, single button, and separate flagging button for simple, reliable handling that we got the hang of after a few beacon drills. With a triple antenna, the Barrvox boasts an impressive 70-meter digital range that's just as large as most top-end beacons out there.
The Barryvox shows distance, direction, and number of burial victims in an easy-to-see, goggle-friendly display. In search mode, the Barryvox automatically switches back into send mode if the beacon's been still for four seconds, just in case we get in an accident while looking for a victim. Mammut included alkaline batteries and a carry case that keeps the beacon close to your chest.

Amazing
This beacon is extremely easy to use. It's range is out of this world, and for Search and Rescue practice is absolutely perfect. My only complaint was, that the owners manual did not come with the product. I had to search it on line and it was not easy to find the correct manual that gave the advanced features.

Seems to be superior to other beacons and helps me get to simulated burials faster than some of my partners' beacons from other brands. Love the lock on the state so you don't have to worry about it accidentally moving from send to search or off

Very solid beacon, recommended by all my friends and professional colleagues. Thankfully haven’t had to use it other than in AAIRE courses, but through them it was very effective from signal to fine search. Has a very long range for the signal search.

Great Antenna
Easy to use in the field. Side by side comparison to other brands showed better antenna range with the Mammut.

Powerful, Easy to use transceiver
While I have thankfully not needed to use my Barryvox in a true rescue, it has been very easy to use in trainings. The Barryvox consistently has the longest signal readings when I have been in large training groups compared to other brands. The only issue is that it has been a little more challenging to read in multiple burial scenarios when the signals are close together as it fluctuates very quickly between signal readings. I can imagine this would work for anyone, but maybe a little less ideal for those expecting to deal with multiple burials.
