Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Mammut have announced a firmware upgrade for their Barryvox transceivers to 3.4, so if you're anywhere near a service centre or avalanche safety centre it might be worth popping in for an update. A few of us used the peer-to-peer update at last year's PSB to download from someone who had the more recent FW, which also worked well.
Quote:
* Alternative Search Mode (Barryvox S)
Firmware 3.4 provides improved sound quality and optimized resolution of gain steps for reliable differentiation between multiple avalanche transceivers during the analog tone check and when using the alternative search mode. Pro Search and the alternative search mode provide an analog tone that can be used when a clear separation of multiple burials is no longer possible in the digital standard mode due to signal overlap or interference.
* Battery Capacity Display
Optimized battery recognition and support for alkaline batteries with high output voltage (> 1.5 V per LR03-AAA cell) for optimized display of battery capacity for alkaline and lithium (Barryvox S) batteries, even in low temperatures.
* Service Software
Firmware 3.4 provides higher stability of the w-link connection between transceivers and the service tool. The service software enables wireless communication with a high number of Barryvox devices and allows easier management, configuration and upgrade for fleet operators and rentals.
*Performance Boost:
The BarryHeart 3.4 firmware optimizes the following functions of the Barryvox and Barryvox S:
Optimized detection of the signal from an older or damaged transceiver which is outside the allowed period duration
Improved signal separation in complex search scenarios with lengthy signal-overlaps or transmitters with continuous-carrier signals
Improved structuring of the list of buried subjects for transmitters with continuous carrier signals

I received the update mail from Mammut yesterday, as mine is registered with them. In the UK I’ve always used Face West (Facewest.co.uk), who are one of their Avalanche Safety Centres.
It will come back updated with a test certificate (a transceiver MOT).
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

, said, the peer2peer update was very easy to do if you meet someone with the latest version. Really good feature.
