The Barryvox VS 68 was released in 1968 and discontinued in 1994.
This was the first, and long since discontinued, Barryvox transceiver. It was commissioned by the Swiss Army in 1968. It is similar to other single-antenna avalanche beacons.
The VS 68 came in both yellow and orange housings. I don't know if there was a functional difference between the two colors.
I haven't tested this transceiver.
