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.
