Mammut Pulse Barryvox Avalanche Beacon

 Brand : Mammut
Item : MAM0047
With their innovative Pulse Baravox Avalanche Beacon, Mammot gives you the abilty to perform pre-search triage and find multiple buried victims quickly. For all burials, the Pulse uses a 360 degree direction arrow that leads you along the shortest path to the victim and eliminates the need for a final grid search. For multiple buried victims, the Pulse Beacon can search for up to eight signals at once. A triple antenna eliminates all signals except the one you're following and marks victims once they're located. This beacon even shows you which signals are being searched for by other Pulse users, so your search is more efficient. If you're the one buried, this Mammut beacon also has a motion sensor that detects vital signs and lets other Pulse users know you're still alive. In avalanche rescue, efficiency is everything; this Mammot beacon shortens your search and buys time for whoever's buried.

Mammut Pulse Barryvox Avalanche Beacon



EASY and FAST
I had the opportunity to try this beacon out in a controlled environment. It is a super easy beacon to use. The compass feature gives the beacon the very accurate readings. Another great aspect of this beacon is the multiple burial function. It shows you the signal that is closet to you and you are able to check each individual one off as necessary. Remember the only way this beacon is effective is to practice.


Time will tell
So far this beacon is the bee's knees, Unfortunately being quite new on the market I would like to see if everything all the bugs are worked out with it. I wouldn't recommend the pulse for someone who hasn’t had any experience using avi beacons but definitely for someone looking for the most advanced. For first timers I recommend the Peips dsp


Great improvement
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!


The Best So Far
Hands down this is the most advance, user friendly and amazing piece of gear of its kind ever made. If you are looking for a new beacon try to get your hands on this and see for yourself.


When gear matters..
Clearly technology is the winner when it comes to beacons. All these tools in one small unit. Do you even want sometnig less then this in terms of performance and features. I doubt it because it is your life on the line or your buddies. Whast is going to get you there fastest? Some proven search patteren or a tool that takes you right to the heart of the matter. Don't waste money on lesser product. get the goods that will keep you alive.
