Which model do you need?

The standard Barryvox is the simplest beacon and will appeal to those who place the highest priority on simplicity.  The Barryvox has by far the longest range in its class, and new background programming that provides very fast signal pickup and reduces the incidence of signal-overlap during multiple burial searches makes this beacon even easier to use and more effective than its predecessor the Element. 

The BarryvoxS  provides the same benefits as the Barryvox, along with some built-in refinements and enhanced functionality. Users will choose to buy the S over the standard for two reasons:

1. “Auto Guidance” and “Smart Search” background programming provides both new and seasoned users with improved functionality and faster, uninterrupted searches. These features operate in the background in the beacons standard operating mode, so the user doesn't have to "do" anything, simply follow the arrow all the way through the search, which culminates in a "probe here" icon.
2. Access to the “Pro Search” function in order to definitively tell the user when to switch to an alternate search strategy (micro strips, etc) to quickly identify and solve close-proximity multiple burials involving signal overlap.  Whereas the Pulse had a reputation of being more involved to use in its advanced settings, the far easier user interface and intuitive navigation opens this function up to many recreational users.
